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.
There’s definitely regulars I recognize, but still plenty more I don’t.
It’s a smaller neighborhood here dude.
Yep! We smol.

Smaller community, so the power users (like myself, FlyingSquid, The Picard Maneuver and others) will undoubtedly be more prevalent than the many, many other users that barely post at all.
I do in fact recognize all those users including you
But do you recognize me!?
I don’t remember you, but i remember that post about google maps
I think it’s good that you don’t remember me. I always obey the rules of good grammar.
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.
I find it kind of creepy. And, ultimately, because of the legacy of things like power(mad) mods, disappointing. Excessive participation leads to possessiveness and all that
Well I mean, be the change you want to see then, post more. Other than that, you really won’t find any online communities without the occasional power hungry mods, that’s just the sad reality that power corrupts.
