We're a small tight knit community. We see the same names everywhere. I'm sure many of you have been recognised by strangers before.

What is your claim to Lemmy fame.

Lady butterfly is for example responsible for keeping Lemmy wholesome.

Blaze is posting meta stuff quite often.

The Picard Manoeuvre is the first Lemmy celeb for his accomplishments in memes.

Many names I can mention.

I'm not popular enough to be recognised

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, it's you! Cool!

[–] toothpaste_sand@lemy.nl 9 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, wow! A post by @ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com! Those are always pure gold.

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I get recognized a lot because of my huge wang. That and my humility, I'd say.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm not sure how to photograph humility.

I'm here in the meager effort to create some joy, because I am utterly overwhelmed by the awful.

I make a new account every thousand comments or so specifically because I don’t want internet fame. But if I didn’t, I’d probably be recognized as that guy who says what he thinks even when he knows it won’t be popular. Then again, I filter content so aggressively to avoid threads where I’d be tempted to share those unpopular opinions that maybe I wouldn’t get recognized that much after all.

I mostly lurk, just like how I’m primarily scrolling through this thread to see if the 21-23 year old virgin who’s looking for a 30 year old girlfriend is in here.

Not sure, I'd be surprised to be recognised. I definitely appreciate all the regular posters and commenters on here though!

No idea. Hopefully for my cat pictures. Or maybe the food ones?

I don't. And I like it that way.

My hope is that I don't get recognised, but in the past I was known for making long posts. So, maybe that?

We are here to discuss ideas, not people. That said, I do recognise a few accounts.

I was way more active on my previous account before my instance died. These days I am trying to get out of my lurking habits, but it's substantial effort sometimes

Anyway, I recognise a lot of names on these threads. In a way, it's very wholesome and warm but also a stark reminder of how small lemmy still is. Not that it's a bad thing, but sometimes there's not much, if at all, discussion for more niche stuff

The moment I get recognized I'm out of here.
