I feel like I’m good friends with The Picard Maneuver, Flying Squid, and Kolanaki, just because they’re in all the same threads I am.
I don’t even consciously interact with specific people on Lemmy, but sometimes I just happen to be paying attention to the usernames and I do the Leo pointing meme like “Hey, I recognize that guy!”
One of the things I love about the fediverse is it’s not too busy for me to recognize usernames. Feels like an old phpBB board.
That’s so far my favorite part of the community. I pretty much exclusively browse the “everything across all instances” thing and a handful of names have become really recognizable over the last few weeks.
Fuck kolanaki and their annoying ass name. Blocked them long time sgo because of it
Sheesh, dude. Why hate a person that much over their name being displayed differently?
Those big blue letters are revolting. It’s like getting blasted with a pop up ad in an otherwise clean UI
anything longer than “brb” and their terminal can’t display it correctly
Also this
Hey, it’s honest work.
I am pretty sure some people think that it is a community name
I did, yes. This morning I realized it’s a person from this thread.
Somehow I fell into the routine, motivated by wanting to see communities grow on lemmy, and I’ve just kept going.
You’d be surprised how quick I am at it now. The actual posting probably only takes 5-10min per day, and then whenever I have time to check my phone, I’ll catch up on my inbox.
You’re the George Washington of the fediverse.
Or its Karl Marx, considering it’s the fediverse.
Also props to you for making such silly maps! Honored to have you as a fellow mod of !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee !

That’s the spirit of the pre-2010s internet for you, the energy that made the sites we have today in the first place.
But what goldmine do you use to find content?
God, all over. You name it, and I’ve probably found content there. Random stuff from my Google recommendations, topic searches, reddit (rarely), Twitter/X, Tumblr, imgur, memes my wife sends me, YouTube (some people actually post memes there), etc.
Pretty much anytime I see something that makes me laugh or I think Lemmy would enjoy, I add it to my (now massive) vault of memes and images.
And if I’m feeling inspired (or bored), I’ll sometimes make my own.

I want to learn that power.
I mostly post from my phone, using the Voyager app. You can star a handful of communities as favorites and keep them at the top of your list, so it doesn’t take a lot of scrolling to find the right one.
Do that a few thousand times over the past year or so, and you get pretty fast at it!
Thanks for sharing technique.
The porn subs need more posts.
What am I reading? 🤨
They quit their job, started posting a bunch. Yet they still can’t post as much as another user on Lemmy.
lots of people work online so its possible to feed this place while feeding the company
Feed the chicken, Hayley
It’s easier when you didn’t have a job when you joined and you still don’t.
Originally due to illness, but at this point also by choice since a parent is required to be at home in order to help my daughter stay on track with her online (public) school work.
Still got waaaay too much time with nothing to do.
Yeah, I usually comment while in a waiting room for an appointment. Like right now. It’s easy to scroll while passing time.
Thank you for your service.
The datascrapers must be fed.
@THE_PICARD_MANEUVER@lemmy.world
Haha, thank you for the tag. Would’ve missed this!
they’re the same person
I know on what side of the Tuvix debate you’re on.
how could you tell?
I can’t, I was bluffing. I got nothing on you. *runs away*
Boo, it would have been funnier if they found it and nobody tagged them.
Quit my job to post on Lemmy? I didn’t even know that was an option.
You’d need to have a job first
Yeah…how do I get in on that action?
Step 1. Quit job
Step 2. Business as usual
Step 3. Starve
I love how this post has been up for six hours, nobody has tagged them, and they haven’t found it on their own yet.
Everyone knows that there is know known defence against The_Picard_Manoeuvre
Well then slap her into warp 10 and eject all the cargo to save weight.
Sorry to fuck a joke up by being a nerd, but I don’t think weight (mass) matters much in a ship that could travel warp 10. The ship wouldn’t have enough momentum to matter all that much.
All you did was give your cargo to someone else, I think. I mean, I’ll take it if you think it would help.
Something something turn into salamanders with the captain and shag.
but I don’t think weight (mass) matters much in a ship that could travel warp 10.
I’m sure the ship floating through space also plays a factor
Not much. It’s the space around the ship that moves, not the ship itself.
No, you dump the cargo to make it more maneuverable, that way you can do a sick drift.
May I ask about your profile branding?
Y’all are posting?!
I too quit my job to post on Lemmy. In retrospect it was a poor life choice.
I’ve almost quit Lemmy because I got a job. I hate my life more than ever.
Congratulations, I’m sorry for you!
Fry, is that you?
I just remembered MrBabyMan. Turns out he’s still an animation editor for Disney stuff, if anyone is curious. Wonder how he feels about social media in general now.
