We're a small tight knit community. We see the same names everywhere. I'm sure many of you have been recognised by strangers before.

What is your claim to Lemmy fame.

Mostly lurk, so unlikely. Changing domains when lemm.ee closed down doesn't help, either.

Nothing I hope. I can't imagine I've done or said anything noteworthy enough for this.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

I honestly don't get what you mean. Like you bump into someone in meatspace and they are like. OMG! your hubertmanne. if so no. and eww.

I'm like the middle child of a large family. Maybe some people know, most people don't. Those who do know me are like "Yeah, they are great at something."

Hey. Hey you. As your attorney I advise you to buy a pocketknife. Preferably a really strange one.

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

sh.it.head, for a lemmy user of a certain vintage, anyway.

Beyond that idk 🤷‍♂️

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh my god I forgot about that instance

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If I had to guess, if I'm recognized at all it's probably either for my semi-regular nonsense ask lemmy questions or my nipples

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

You tell me, I don't think lots of people remember me (except the angry tankies ^^).

im not a mod, or started a community, i dont post enough. just a reddit refugee from thier bans. also i block alot of people(who make condescending statements adding no value to a comment) so less likely to be recognized

Magnets

And being an asshole

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I am just some account, not recognizable by definition Or it is just because I lurk a lot, and I am inherently unfunny..

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably for being an overly opinionated dick.
