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.

Do you identify as being part of this class?

Ironically, I don't see any of the regular users I see in every community on this thread.

I dont notice it a whole lot mainly cos i dont really care who im talking to tbh. I do wonder if my username stands out tho?

It does, if only because of the font.

For me, the difference to reddit is less the participation/diversity in individual discussions. Rather, that lively debates only happen in some prominent subs. That is the one thing I miss here when comparing lemmy to reddit. On reddit, you can look for some niche hobby or some random computer game and chances are that you'll find an active community.

I do not have the time to post / comment usually.

There's a certain group of users I tend to come across here regularly. I post a lot myself too but I also have a habit of making new account about once a year so that not all my messages are from one user. I doubt many would remember me.

Lol I don’t usually look at usernames, and when I do it’s almost always to block someone

Lemmy may be small, but it's cozy!
