I kinda feel like I have more of a persona here? Lemmy is a smaller community than Reddit and I recognize people more than I used to. Read: I ever look at usernames. I’ve bothered with an avatar, for instance.
Something I still miss is the “brain trust” that was Reddit. You could ask “experimental exo-ornithologists of Reddit” and get at least ten of them. Reddit had a culture of tracking down mysteries, I don’t think we have anything like The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet or Celebrity Number Six. I miss stuff like that.
Things like that come with a larger community. However, there are certainly message boards where exo-ornithologists gather where you could likely get a better answer than reddit, and if it’s not actually enough of an interest to look for, then does the answer to your question actually matter? Knowledge is great, knowledge is power, but fleeting questions on a subject you won’t think about for another decade is just mental masturbation.

That’s a little terrifying for me as someone who likes using reddit-likes for the anonymity lol. Although on reddit I used to recognise some usernames in smaller subreddits where there were a few active posters.
