At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

Don't saw much in English, but in French yes it looks like we are 3 or 4 users

I can’t believe this guy, we’re not all bots!

I hate when people assume everyone who disagrees with them are bots!

Speak for yourself.

I understand what he's saying, I've seen the same usernames respond to different threads before.

It's a smaller community, you're going to see the same names, stop making it seem like a conspiracy!

Do you identify as being part of this class?

Communities with 30k members could really do with pruning the completely inactive ones. It's not like there's any commercial reasons to pretend that places are busier than they actually are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I disagree. There is nothing to be gained by removing people from a group. You can't predict when they might suddenly become active and by removing them you're abrogating their ability to participate.

I have no idea what you're talking about, says the chump who has a series of precisely 103 formulaic knife reviews posted here.

Everyone on lemmy is a bot except you.

Yeah, that's what you get with smaller communities, you tend to see the same people over and over.

We're looking sat you PugJesus! 😎

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Just trying to keep things alive until they're self-sustaining! I look forward to the day when I don't, uh, post every day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I use both reddit and lemmy and for the most part, I'll see similar or the same articles shared/posted on both platforms. I don't mind, it actually makes me feel like one day Lemmy might grow enough to the point where I use reddit less and less.

using multiple platforms I see the same users from time to time but I never really cared about who's posting or commenting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I try and post, but I feel like I'm always slow to the uptake and people already say the things I have to say. But I do make sure I vote as much as I can.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Yep. Lemmy isn't that big and it is generally the case that an online space is like an iceberg, with only some of the users seen a lot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

That's how social media like this works. It was the same on Reddit but the user base was larger so it would be a little more difficult to notice. A very small percentage of users actually post and since we're already a pretty small community you'll notice the same people more easily.
