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.

Lemmy may be small, but it's cozy!

Like friends!

The fediverse makes communities feel even smaller since even widely connected nodes have instances they aren't networked with, so even a massive userbase can feel like a small neighborhood, because as an individual user, that's what you're going to see with your account pegged to any given instance.

Hey, GrammarPolice! Nice to see you again today! Take care, see you later!

there are dozens of us

Yep, maybe it would benefit from more advertisement but I decided to not recommend it until I experience it for some time. It took me a week or two to realize that I don't like moderation at lemmy-world for example, I would definitely recommend choosing other instances, and then, it takes time to figure out which ones are worth recommending. Some are extremist far-left/far-right, some are at risk of shutting down if admin gets bored and decides to stop paying for hosting from his personal money.

Lol I don’t usually look at usernames, and when I do it’s almost always to block someone

I don't post nearly as much as I would like, because I post some stream related stuff in my own community on lemmy and don't know want to come off as someone who is trying to advertise all the time. I have been reported for that posting to my own community, which... ya know. I get it, nobody cares about yet another streamer dude, but it is a bit intimidating almost.

Lemmy is still far from being another reddit. So it is definitely normal to see the same active users. For example, I see blaze alot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I think everybody sees blaze a lot lol

With such a user pool you'd think I'd make someone laugh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

thanks. don't I know you ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I disagree, you just notice them more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Nope, it is.

In a way it's kinda cool though. Feels more like a community.
