Am i the only one who feels like it's the same handful of users posting and commenting on lemmy?
Am i the only one who feels like it's the same handful of users posting and commenting on lemmy?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Reddit was much larger, but it was the same and noticeable when you were active enough.
My rule of thumb was, if 100 people see a post, 10% vote on it, 1% comment on it.
There's also the fact that most active users that also comment regularly, don't browse the hot page but catch the posts earlier. So there will always be names that show up more often than others, that have already said what's going to be said.
On Lemmy there's a lot of instances that are kind of radical and have a vast interest in spreading their radical ideology in other instances, so they'll show up as well on a regular depending on the topic.
