Yeah, me too. I may not be comfortable speaking a lot so this is all one directional, but running into Stamets and Picard Maneuver outside of Star Trek subs always makes me go "hey! I know this person!"

I see Picard Maneuver posting and I know nothing about Star Trek lol
I've seriously wondered how that user has the time to post so many memes.
Went into your profile hoping to find smth I'd seen before. Sadly nothing I recognize 😔
Nah I don't comment often, I often write whole essays and then end up deleting them because I feel bad about it hahaha
It's always nice to have another voice. Blabber along with the rest of us.
I used to be the same on reddit but on Lemmy I take it as a personal duty to post as much as I can.
Let it rip next time, most of us are happy to see any comments that show a decent amount of effort.
That just means that moving forward, now you will! 😅
It’s a taste of the real world need we have for second-order relationships, i.e. neighbors. I grew up in a close knit homogeneous small town three hours drive from the nearest proper metro area. It was simultaneously suffocating and comforting to have real neighbors.
I recently became active in precinct-level party politics (im in USA) precisely to meet some IRL neighbors. I stick around lemmy for an online taste of the same thing. It fills a basic social need.
Hi, neighbors!
Interesting perspective
Please don't perceive me.
Yup, checked and have several of youur comments already upvoted. Thou hasth been percieved
Huh, maybe I need to be more proactive about deleting and recreating accounts here. On Reddit, I would do it about every year or two, and that seemed to work pretty well.
I value my privacy online, which is why I'll never again have a Facebook account (deleted mine years ago), and why I never used a valid email on Reddit. I guess this means I'll probably need to recreate my account every few months instead of years.
What I like about lemmy is quite different, I like that there's no incentive to get popular here. Karma isn't a thing, there are no awards, and the audience isn't big enough to attract as many narcissists.
Anyway, I hope to earn your votes with whatever my account is in the future.
Karma absolutely is a thing, your app or instance just might not show that to you
Sure, and since most apps and instances don't show it, it likely has less of an impact on people. I've never particularly cared, but it seems enough people do to make the experience worse.
Having a home instance feels like your local neighborhood where you get to know your neighbors
Hey, are you planning to mow your lawn anytime soon? It's really becoming an eyesore 🙄
We got a goat to take care of that 🐐
Man, I wish I could have a goat.
It's common on some other larger platforms too. I see the same people across multiple YouTube channels sometimes.
agreed, it's my favorite part of lemmy. when i see CatadoraStalinism i'm like, hey, thats the guy that asked me if i was a Trotskyist that one time. if your reading this, i am not anymore by the way.
Yeah I am amazed by the personal interactions and connections that I've formed here, they've been the most rewarding part of Lemmy for me. There is not a single redditor who would recognize my reddit account after 10+ years on the platform, but I'm sure there's a good number of Lemmings who already recognize me, and indeed know me, or at least the personality I express online.
Treasure these times, because someday Lemmy will outgrow this phase if we start getting much larger.
