I keep seeing the same names popping up. I think it’s rather cute!

I have a really bad habit of never looking at anyone’s names…
Well, Neil, isn’t that a little selfish of you!
Yes, whoever you are.
There are specific users with emoji names that stand out a lot all of the time.
Interesting! I wonder if the Eternity client doesn’t show that? I have never noticed it at least. I am also in the habit of never looking at names though. Maybe it is good to be in the habit of remembering names because it humanizes the people on the other end or so?
For me profile pictures helps a lot. You could go to Settings->interface->comments->show avatar
Oh wow, thanks!
I am on eternity, too, it shows that
Yeh it does feel rather close. It’s quite nice honestly
According to one of the latest kurzgesagt videos we all should be in smaller communities like this and large ones like Facebook and Reddit are generally bad for our mental health.
I wish kurzgesagt joined the fediverse. They are quite big (21M followers). Being able to watch them here without going to youtube would be a nice step in the right direction.
Well a few months after leaving reddit I do feel a lot better in general so I’m not surprised.
I go back occasionally to check for something or just to see what things are like. I dunno if it’s just gotten insanely more toxic since July or if it’s just been that way for a long time but oh my god. Every comment section is just angry and bitter and hateful. I was looking at a post yesterday and thought it was cute and interesting so I open the comments. Every single one of them were either saying it was fake, that it was stupid, that it was cringey, that it didn’t make sense, etc. It’s like no one has an ounce of positivity on that site.
as a former resident of the infopop forums, i liken the fediverse to bulletin boards in the 90s and early 2000s and it’s nice - the kind that were super hyper localized by topic but everyone was friendly. :)
Mostly only the very active users moved over from Reddit, so we have a lot of content for not as many people. But it’s nice how active and invested most people here seem to be.
Long time reddit lurker here. I’m active now i’m here. I wonder how many peeps there are here like me?
Sometimes I feel like @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website literally keeps my feed (and all my subscriptions) alive. Thank you for your service 🫡

Somebody has to fill this place with content…
Sorry
Comments and votes are content too.
Sorry, I’m just making a bad joke about my frankly unhealthy posting habits.

Hmm, I will be glad if someone remember my name. I just post to fill the gap in communities.
Also I remembered @crul@lemm.ee for comics and other arts post, @statmets@lemmy.world and @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website for memes, Heisenberg and Otter for comic and meme too, @kolanki@yiffit.net and annoyed_(Dancing Crab), @sour@kbin.social for comment this “[._.]” with GD Icon and many more. Thanks to all of you making such a Good community.
I remember kolanki. Likely because the display name is all emojis 🤣
I remember you! I see posts all the time and notice “Ah, it’s that Sag fellow again”
Wooh, The Picard Maneuver remember me.
Omg SagxD i remember u
OMG
Yes, that’s one of the nice aspects.
Thanks to @throws_lemy@lemmy.nz and @BrikoX@lemmy.zip for their tech posts, and @ZeroCool@slrpnk.net and @realcaseyrollins@narwhal.city for the movies posts, you guys rock
Back at ya Blaze, it’s always a pleasure running into the other moviesandtv regulars!
There’s two reasons for that:
-
Lemmy is still small (compared to centralized social media).
-
We all chose to be here instead of mainstream social media for a reason, so we’ve all got something in common.
-
TL:DR; I agree and I love it here!
Yeah it certainly feels that way to me too. I can’t speak for the rest of the Fediverse platforms (Friendica, Misskey, Mastodon, etc.) but Lemmy is certainly a tight-knit, active and generally friendly group…
You should have seen how it was like here before May this year, when there were only a few dozen users that posted or commented anything at all across all servers, call that tight knit.
Still, I’m so proud of everyone for help in keeping a friendly vibe for the most part, and for user reporting and mod actions keeping trolls at bay. There was quite a bit of concern that when people migrated from Reddit en masse that it Lemmy would be taken over by the same uninspired drivel or become a Reddit repost site. What we got are very healthy meme and shitpost communities with shitposters who engage with commentors, tech news, politics, environment news with active discussions where people have disagreed with each other without getting in a complete rage about it, and cute animal pics like !aww@lemmy.world and !superbowl@lemmy.world.
There’s still progress to be made on parts of the technical, moderation and community sides. For my part, I’m trying to post more and my goal this year is to share a lot pictures of the cityscape to Lemmy.
Yup, it’s fun. And im happily blocking all the tankies in between the great people. Account name like StalinSomethingSomething… nope.
Duck names have to stick together

hey everybody! i’m masterblaster! i make modules for D&D and play in a blues band! remember, kill all conservatives for the future of humanity!
If you’re trying to turn that into a catchphrase I suggest replacing “kill” with “blast” for better branding.
Can we not use a simple Slam?
I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Most of you are alright.
I wonder if others have some favourite posters that you they quite often?
For me, it’s @Stamets and ThePicardManuever but I’ve noticed a couple other prominent posters lately although their names haven’t stuck for me just yet.
