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.

    Part of it is also because you will notice the people you recognize, but scroll past the people that you don’t.

    Having to check over usernames from the moderation side, I notice a lot more variety than I’d think about otherwise
