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.

Reddit is worse but they use puppet accounts so you can't easily tell.

Roll-call for the lurkers! (If u want, no pressure)

[-] Raglesnarf@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month 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

[-] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Yes. Don’t look at usernames.

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

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.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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've stopped referring to community sizes - especially when there hasn't been a post for a year. Instead, monthly active users is where it's at:-).

I'm just here so I don't get fined.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There are more popular people that hang out and comment often in the main communities, then there are people who pass by. I know on Reddit I've seen certain people pop up frequently in certain communities. It's a smaller platform so you see the popular ones more often but it's not that unusual.

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

Commenting not so much, but posting is almost exclusively done by a regular few. Reddit was already like that, but Lemmy is infinitely smaller so it becomes obviously apparent.

There's one user that seems to be everywhere and it's probably the same user everyone is thinking of right now lol.

I'm also surprised I come across other "agents" on here more frequently than I would expect.

A place has to be seeded for a forest to grow...

Somebody has to do the job since normal person only reads, maybe upvote.

does that mean i'm famous?! MUM I'M FAMOUS

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Nope, it is.

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

You've been very busy talking to several of my puppet accounts.

There are prolific posters and some bots that post nearly half of the content that gets popular on a particular day. Commentors I think there's a healthy mix of regulars and users I don't recognize.

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

Ye, and I'm mostly fine with it (I just wish this place had more stuff that wasn't necessarily political, like "interests" type of stuff like comicbooks. We have some, and thankfully Linux is a big one, but I just wish there was more!)

I'd say there is a handful of most active users, and plenty of those who chime in to say something once in a while.
