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.
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 [email protected] !

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.
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.
I am pretty sure some people think that it is a community name
I was guilty of that for a hot minute before getting used to the UI.
I did, yes. This morning I realized it’s a person from this thread.
lots of people work online so its possible to feed this place while feeding the company
Feed the chicken, Hayley
Hey, it's honest work.
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
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.
May I ask about your profile branding?
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.
I hope stamets is ok
Multitasking is the name of the game 😎 (i have untreated ADHD please send help)
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?
Y’all are posting?!
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.
because The_Picard_Maneuver can be in two places at one time.
Haha, thank you for the tag. Would've missed this!
Boo, it would have been funnier if they found it and nobody tagged them.
Data scrapper?
Every time I go to the bathroom, I make a comment.
I think I might have kidney disease.
So now every time you want to make a comment you get the urge to go to the bathroom?
Pavlov and his dog want a word
Or a bladder problem.
Maybe get your prostate checked too
The datascrapers must be fed.
The trick is to get to a job that runs itself or doesn't care if your in or not.

I don't know who is The_Picard_Maneuver and at this point I'm afraid to ask
Hi
Not who... what
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.
What can ya say, it's an effective maneuver.
lol
ngl I blocked them because I got sick of seeing stale memes reposted with vaguely related titles. I thought they were a repost bot but that might be going too far
Damn. That's like 90% of Lemmy just... gone.
Fr, he been here 3 weeks and already got tired of it. Damn that's...something.
quality over quantity my friend
