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.

    Most people are probably pretty passive, so yeah, I think there’s a subset of posters who are highly visible. But even over at Hacker News, where there’s a much larger audience commenting, I recognize specific names because something they said in the past got my attention and I start piecing together their personality a bit at a time.
