Familiar faces resurfacing is nice and only possible on a smaller sized platform. Or clicking someones profile only to see a post I previously saw or commemted on.

Yeah, me too. I may not be comfortable speaking a lot so this is all one directional, but running into Stamets and Picard Maneuver outside of Star Trek subs always makes me go "hey! I know this person!"

I see Picard Maneuver posting and I know nothing about Star Trek lol

I've seriously wondered how that user has the time to post so many memes.

Went into your profile hoping to find smth I'd seen before. Sadly nothing I recognize 😔

Nah I don't comment often, I often write whole essays and then end up deleting them because I feel bad about it hahaha

It's always nice to have another voice. Blabber along with the rest of us.

I used to be the same on reddit but on Lemmy I take it as a personal duty to post as much as I can.

It’s a taste of the real world need we have for second-order relationships, i.e. neighbors. I grew up in a close knit homogeneous small town three hours drive from the nearest proper metro area. It was simultaneously suffocating and comforting to have real neighbors.

I recently became active in precinct-level party politics (im in USA) precisely to meet some IRL neighbors. I stick around lemmy for an online taste of the same thing. It fills a basic social need.

Hi, neighbors!

Interesting perspective

It's common on some other larger platforms too. I see the same people across multiple YouTube channels sometimes.
