Are there any "famous" Lemmy users?

@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world is a meme god.

@PugJesus@lemmy.world keeps history alive and the Confederacy in check.

@anon6789@lemmy.world is our resident owl afficionado.

There are many others, of course, but I seem to notice these three a lot in my Subscribed feed.

DBZer0, aka Divide By Zer0. He runs an instance with the same name. He's one of the old mods on r/piracy and helped lead an exodus over to Lemmy

@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world has been a constant presence who seemingly posts at all hours of the day, probably the biggest Lemmy "celebrity" that I can think of.

academy award nominee "Margot Robbie" of course!

I hear academy award nominated actress margot robbie is here sometimes.

I see a lot of posts from @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world.

They post good memes, insightful comments, moderates a few communities I think.

probably not a real squid though, I don't think they got internet in the ocean

No love for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world ? They're not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.

I asked my mom and she didn't really understand what Lemmy is but she assured me that I am the coolest person on here.

An autographed headshot will run you $20

@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world obviously

There are some infamous ones for the amount of misinformation they post.

Flying squid

Special shoutout to @ickplant@lemmy.world who's on point with the opossum memes.

@Stamets@lemmy.world is quite famous in the Lemmy Startrek Lore, but less active lately probably due to big real-life changes happening, I wish them well.

The user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite "gimmicks".

I am quite famous in my house. Pretty much everyone here knows me.

In !science_memes@mander.xyz @fossilesque@mander.xyz is very present.

In the german meme community !ich_iel@feddit.org @instantnudel@feddit.org , @EherVielleicht@feddit.org and @ZonenRanslite@feddit.org are very well known.

Ada from Lemmy Blahaj Zone is quite infamous for the bad takes and arbitrary bans

Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart always gets a laugh from me

How many of yall read this entire thread and were disapointed or glad you didnt find your own name.

Pretty sure me and another Lemmy were the first two men to meet here then fuck. Highly recommend.

Well, not to brag, but today i sneezed so loud that a neighbour 2 houes down and across yelled "bless". So, yeah, kind of famous.

I'm here. You're here. Let's you and me be the new celebrities.

That guy that has letters from blue squares.

I think their name was "SatansMaggotyCumFart" or something like that?

FlyingSquid(I don't know on which instance he is, but you see him quite often).

Clearly me. I am a tiny little youtuber and streamer who wants this place to succeed, so I lurk, I post and don't have a presence on the big platforms.

So if I ever make it big, I can help drive users here. You just wait! It'll happen any day now!

I've noticed @Blaze@reddthat.com contributes to the community a lot!

@mizu6079@lemmy.world for this post: https://szmer.info/post/423722
@MentalEdge@ani.social for running !dungeonmeshi@ani.social
@wjs018@ani.social for running !anime@ani.social
@NineSwords@ani.social for running !lightnovels@ani.social

P.S. Mizu's poop post is really nice study in how the content prevails in fediverse. The original post on lemmy.world throws an error, kbin.social that is linked in r/BORU@reddit.com no longer works, but I found a copy on szmer.info

I'm kind of a big deal.

That kolanak yiffit guy I see everywhere

All the star trek guys

@Emperor@feddit.uk, @UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk and @TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml help a lot to keep !movies@lemm.ee active

There are definitely some that I see around a lot, eg. PugJesus or that guy with the emoji name that starts with a K

I'm huge in japan

I'm always seeing TexasDrunk on here. But maybe it's just that Texas stands out to me since I'm from there.

Flying squid, he's a kiddo or has some mental health issues

Flyingsquid, pugjesus, maven, the_picard_maneuver, fossilesque, satansmaggotycumfart, and jeffw just to name a few.

That one user who started that no pooping meme or whatever its called

I'm Burt Reynolds.

I see @MyOpinion@lemm.ee constantly, and it trips me up every time because when I met my wife online twelve years ago, her username was MyOpinionIs. Not sure that they're famous, though..

I think it's the blue checkmark that always draws my eyes.

Saving this thread so i can update my blocklist!

Maybe its just me, but I see @BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world moon a lot. They post sovereign citizen stuff, which is what i see regularly, but they are also a pretty good poet.

I think me all joking aside I think https://lemmy.world/u/The_Picard_Maneuver is the closest to one due to seeing him everywhere

@Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works

https://lemmy.world/u/jeffw

Jeffw is locally famous. Posting content and commenting. (Sorry, can’t figure out how to grab the user name link on this app)

Don't know their exact names...
Instant Noodles on feddit.org
Someone with blue emojis spelling and starting with a K (Kola or Kol or something)

Its me that guy in the thing

I see @teft@lemmy.world, @ivanafterall@lemmy.world, and @MicroWave@lemmy.world a lot

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net has a blue name and posts a lot

@fucker@lemmy.world were fairly prominent for a while with !internetfuneral@lemmy.world

😞 I guess I’m not as clever as I thought

https://endlesstalk.org/u/Rooki@lemmy.world for creating the most spaghetti and useless bot ever

@cheese_greater@lemmy.world I think counts. A good friend who is famous for participating and fascinated with every activity I'll never do lol

Not me.

can't think of anyone

There’s always Margot Robbie

How is the handle of the communist guy again?

The_Picard_Maneuver is the real MVP of Lemmy, a source of so much joy.

I might be famous when pigs fly.

I suspect a lot of the prolific posters are just cross posting curated content from reddit (which is fine). I don't think Lemmy is big enough for famous people yet. Alternatively:

Lemmy has no famous people. Lemmy needs to famous people.

"Fart McCarthy" of course, you remember the "Ding Ding Dookie Shuffe" on Christmas Eve '73? Classic! Even my grandma knows about that one.

And she's a god damn idiot.

I'm infamous if that helps

Ah yes. The most American of questions.

I'm sure I'm famous because I'm allegedly a Russian troll and a Nazi sympathizer that promotes slavery in China because I eat chocolate sometimes.

Quite the character, huh?

There is a good amount on Lemmy that I have seen.

If you are active enough, you will start to see user names you recognize across major communities, as well as posts.
