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.

I have no clue. People know my username?

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

Insulting zionists

I don't think I get recognized, but I've had a handful of people say that they like the way I write, so maybe I have a group of dedicated followers somewhere.

Funnily enough, I just earlier messaged some random lemming that I had tagged for a while as "this guy seems cool" to let him know that. I figure everyone likes to get a little compliment like that from a stranger now and then. Just some random dude whose username kind of stood out to me and I noticed every time it popped up he seemed like a nice guy. So some of you are probably out there like him being recognized for just being a decent person.

I highly doubt i would be recognized by anyone in any meaningful capacity. To draw attention and get internet clout you need to be a hyperactive poster, a mod for an active community, or engage in a little politics/drama otherwise nobody notices nobody cares. Im just some guy who says things and post whatever.

What's mine? I'd guess goth latinas.

I'll be honest, I rarely look at names unless I read a comment that says something about OPs name.

It would be so much easier for me if you said “post what other lemmings are known for”. Shout out to bonesofthemoon who shares poems they like. It’s something I want to post more of my self. One of the many comms I would contribute to if I had more time! 😭

You do would-you-rathers sometimes.

I'm not sure if people recognise me, although I post enough someone could. I suspect I'm known on my even smaller home instance, at least.
