Although Lemmy’s userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

no, but i recognise one profile pic.
also, my block list is gigantic.
Am I on the list yet
Jokes aside, do you not feel like the fediverse is more “dead” when you block people? I remember back when Ruqqus was a thing, everyone blocked eachother and then quit because eventually you end up blocking the people who post OCs/memes due to irrelevant comments
I blocked a couple of the prolific meme reposters and my Lemmy experience got a lot better. I don’t need to relive Reddit’s Greatest Hits.
That’s what she said
Why don’t people normally have profile pictures here? This is so much easier to recognize in comparison to text names.
Former lurker and exclusive mobile user, I’m mildly surprised you guys have profile pictures; but I suppose my investment is low.
I’m with Rebekah on this one. Never even thought about a profile pic bc the app I use doesn’t show them.
I mean, I love that this style of forum is anonymous. I like judging what people say as the first thing.
Do I have a profile picture? I see no pictures on the app I’m using inside the threads themselves. I think I have one. A lot of people don’t customize things at all.
Yes you do :)
I think this is a big part of it. I don’t think any of the apps I use have pfp visible by default (tho the community icon shows) and I don’t really care enough to see if I can turn it on. I know I have one, because I used stable diffusion to make it, but I don’t recall what it looks like because it doesn’t show up on my profile page, and my profile information is intentionally suppressed in the main interface (it would show there if I wanted). I never click into other profiles (other than by accident), so I don’t see them there either.
I legit hardly ever recognize anyone because I don’t pay much attention to names unless it’s something weird I want more context for, or a back and forth conversation. I think Reddit trained me to gloss over that.
I didn’t think to add one. BRB.
Edit: And done!
