Like users that are known for a gimmick or that everyone sees alot?
@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.

I’m honored to be listed with those 2 posting machines!
It always means a lot you all take the time to read my posts.
You’d get an upvote for the GGI alone from me
There is so much gold in that show! ❤️
100%. I was there from the original airing of the pilot episode through the last 22 years of multi-year breaks between seasons.
LOL a couple years ago one of my closest friends who happens to be about the furthest away from me of any of them. Shot me a message asking me to guess who they were having lunch with. I had no idea. But it turned out that she had bumped into Lisa hammer and they had been hanging out a bit. They both live up in New York near the Bronx. I may have gotten some signed Triana swag out of the deal LOL
I started during season 1 with my best friend at the time. It took me a bit to get into it, but once I was, I started back from the beginning and then it just got better every season.
Trina episodes are great. The one with the double date is one of the best. The whole set of bathroom scenes are so hilarious!
Yes would have been interesting to see if Tirana’s character got a little more development had Lisa and Doc not split. But she seems to be doing well and is enjoying her work in film out there in New York. So it’s all good.
But yes the rogues gallery on that show was always one of my favorites personally. The Thin White Duke as the sovereign complete with a Klaus Nomi/Iggy pop cameo in the second season finale I think it was? And all the other absurd villains and heroes they just shucked out left and right. Not to mention 21 absurd story arc.
I really hoped the baboon’s heart was king gorilla’s, meaning the return of my favorite villain.
Cigar?
King, I gotta buy my bitch back. Here’s your cigarette.
F_ you, gimme a dollar!
So many great villains. 😆
You are very mich appreciated as well with your cute owl posts :) <3
I like giving you all something special every day! 🦉
@PugJesus@lemmy.world has just completely become the account keeping historical memes and historical illustration communities going, which I very much appreciate.
Along with those already mentioned, my personal heroes are people who keep communities alive:
@MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works posts comics daily to !garfield@lemmy.world and others
@perishthethought@lemm.ee keeps !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee going
@JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee posts regularly about !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
@clark@midwest.social has been killing it on !truecomics@midwest.social
Love you @Rolando@lemmy.world, but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a ‘post per day,’ and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I’m super-embarrassed)
So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can’t aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can’t. Sorry about that, matey.
Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN’T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.
Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S
Don’t worry about it fam. Lemmy isn’t like a news broadcast, it’s more like a family dinner, it’s OK to go off on a rant every once in a while. And there’s no obligation to post every day, just post when you feel like it and where you feel like it. The fact is, you posted quality content a lot for a long time, and that’s commendable.
Thanks but lately you and other subscribers have been posting a lot too!
@ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world Posts daily to !classicrock@lemmy.world
You and everyone else who keeps communities alive are all appreciated!
@silence7@slrpnk.net and @MicroWave@lemmy.world both post a shitpile of news articles.
My dear, sweet @fossilesque@mander.xyz posts so many science memes it makes my head spin
I love !superbowl@lemmy.world
There are a few other animal communities too, like !koalawallawoods@lemmy.world
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.
I dislike stamets because they responded to me in a toxic, rude, abrasive and above others attitude when I disagreed with them on their stance that spirituality and religon (which are seperate things) should be banned in the future entirely, it was related to start trek discussion
I disagree with that because I beleive people should have freedom to practice their religous beleifs or spiritual beleifs as long as they are not harming others
The harming of others should definitely be dealt with if someone does decide to harm others based on their beleifs but many people practice spiritual or religous beleifs without harming others
(Edit: Misclicked reply) the attitude part is pretty common for Lemmy users: passionate, with strong views enough to migrate away from the mainstream. You are free to dislike Stamets or anyone else. It’s still important to understand that nobody’s perfect, no need to have one’s flaws be used to tank the good accomplishments they’ve done for the platform.
Hear hear. For better or for worse those opossum memes really resonate with me
+1 for @ickplant@lemmy.world, they are the primary poster in all of the niche subs I creep.
Shout out to !raccoons@lemmy.world, !otters@lemmy.world, and !psychedelic_therapy@lemmy.world
The big changes are mostly just that I work new hours which are weird for lemmy posting. I’ve been trying to find a way to get back into it more easily. I do miss posting so much :(
Can’t say it’s not weird as shit though to think that that I’m even slightly “famous”
And I do appreciate it <3 genuinely
Tens of thousands of people know who you are. At least your online persona. And generally think good things about you!
it’s probably best not to force it. Early in the Reddit migration, frequent posting kept people coming back, but you don’t want to turn it into “your” communities. Shifting to quality over quantity is never a bad move either :)
No problem and glad to hear you’re still around! You were there with the memes and shitposts when Lemmy needed it most, I think that deserves recognition. Keep taking things at a pace you feel comfortable with, your life comes first.
Thank you for your work!
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
Why would I want a photograph of your mom?
Why wouldn’t you? She’s awesome.
Either you‘re way less popular than you think of or a medical marvel you can still type after at least one headshot.
You do hits for $20 and even autograph the victims?
I was talking about signed photos, but we can discuss other options
Any restrictions? The last guy I hired sadly missed by 2cm
We already went over it, I hit him so no refunds
I’m here. You’re here. Let’s you and me be the new celebrities.
I’m ready for my transformation!
Oh, wait you said celebrities. Not cenobites. Nvm
Do either one of you go on long rambling on-topic stories, only to talk about the undertaker throwing mankind off the hell in a cell in nineteen ninety eight?
Seems like a lot of effort.
Sorry, I couldn’t vote for you. You double-space after periods!
As they should!
It’s marginally easier to read, and it costs me nothing. I’ve been typing this way for forty years, and it takes me longer to try to single space after periods. Why should I change? I’m not asking anyone else to do it, but I’m not going to unlearn something that doesn’t affect anyone else.
So that’s my thing. I’m the double space after periods guy. I’ll also argue with you about State’s Rights and the Civil War, the correct pronunciation of the word “gif,” and why imperial units remain popular despite the “obvious” superiority of metric. I also have some inflammatory opinions about conservativism, but those aren’t nearly as controversial as the other ones.
My only controversial opinion is that one must always avoid “/s” indicators, as those are an instant killer of comedy. If an occasional unit of sarcasm flies over the head of another, drawing downvotes and/or unhappiness, it’s a price we must endure as a society.
Have your people send my people an autograph.
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!
Imperor-Head here. I can’t believe it’s really you!
Damn, the Impire truly has it’s tendrils everywhere!
The world is your stage
I’m Burt Reynolds.
Flying squid
but not in a good way.
I’ve never seen them be out of pocket, just everywhere.
Fuck that guy.
Seems like he’s gotten a little better lately.
Its going to sound silly, but I can’t get past how confident he is and how quickly he posts. Noone makes good arguments with that little thought. At least thats my current theory on why he bothers me.
Who knows though maybe I’m projecting.
I also get annoyed at lightning fast responses. And I agree 100%
It takes no time or energy to come up with one answer to a question. I’m fact, I think most humans’ brains are built for snap decisions like that.
But to weigh multiple answers against each other, poking holes in the answers you are most inclined to believe? That takes thought. And if someone is not doing that for you, then odds are, their brain is simply letting them take the discussion less seriously than your brain (or your morality) allows.
So I think you have every right to feel frustrated at such behavior.
Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like…unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.
Dudes definitely everywhere though.
FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.
Rumors of my only having good opinions about everything that everyone should agree with have been greatly exaggerated.
But if I have offended you by being wrong about something, I apologize.
Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.
See above, re me not always having good opinions about everything.
I cannot help being severely flawed. It comes with the whole homo sapiens thing.
But good for you not having any opinions most people in a certain community you’re in disagree with. That must be very nice for you.
So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That’s just bizarre.
What about for politicians who think your internet history should be public? ;)
NSFW:
Skip to the good bit:
They also beleive you shouldn’t have a right to privacy and that your trauma does not exist
Holy cannoli squid, don’t do that to your kid.

I’ve gotten into it with them at least once and seen some other questionable takes from them but nothing to a grudge over. They’re just opinionated. It’s fine. People take shit on the internet too seriously.
Flying Asshole
Very much you saying Pot meet kettle
No, because of how they interacted on this post
https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808
Their the second person I hate on lemmy, the other one being stamets because they repsonded to me in an abrasive, rude, toxic and above others attitude
They’re**
Fuck.
I don’t see the issue?
Be careful pointing that out on forums they moderate or they’ll ban you for “mod harassmenr.”
Power users and power mods are cancer.
I really don’t see a problem with how they interacted. And, as a step father, I agree that it’s your job to embarrass your kids some as they grow.
I think they were much more level headed and calm than I would have been had I been at odds with so many people.
But hey, everyone is allowed their own opinions.

No love for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world ? They’re not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.
not just a bad troll, but has some messed up takes on the world.
For example, he’s against OHS. Good on Lemmy for knocking that Idiocy down to -185 or more, but still. No.
What is ohs?
*Quick Google
Occupational Health and Safety?
yep.
Putting their comments aside, I think it’s really impressive how they came up with the perfect four word combination to blue-screen my brain every time.
Perhaps it’s just that their username is unforgettable, so you notice it when it appears. Definite Rimjob Steve territory.
One of the only names in this thread I recognize
I might be famous when pigs fly.
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net has a blue name and posts a lot
Saving this thread so i can update my blocklist!
The_Picard_Maneuver is the real MVP of Lemmy, a source of so much joy.
All the star trek guys
Except me apparently, if you read the rest of this thread.
Thank you for your sacrifice
I do it for the glory of the Terran Empire.
People have their reasons for disliking you and I agree with them because my experience with you matches what they are saying flyingsquid
I came to dislike you because of the way you acted in this post
The thread you linked shows Flying Squid being quite reasonable while being unfairly accused of being a pedophile for having photos of their newborn child. It’s not a great example of them being unlikeable.
I understand the position in opposition to the squid’s (very common) opinion that it’s OK to have a nude photo of your baby which might be playfully and innocently used to embarass them as an adult. At no point in that thread did the squid take a position in favor of creating trauma for anyone. I would imagine, like most parents, if their daughter made it clear to them that showing the photo was a traumatic experience for them, the squid would never show it.
Also, the squid was never mean or unfair in that thread. It’s just not a good example of them being unlikeable, in my opinion. If anything, their demeanor while being unfairly called a pedophile only makes them more likeable.
Yes, I know you hate me because I have a photo of my daughter naked when she was a newborn, which makes me a pedophile. That was established by multiple people in that thread.
I’m not a huge Star Trek person, but it really is one of the best communities here with some of the best people.
Start with Strange New Worlds. It’s the best new Trek in 30 years. You can find it on the Bay or wherever you get your videos.
If you aren’t hooked by the end of season 1, yeah it’s probably not for you.
Thanks for that.
I tried the first few episodes. I didn’t really like it, unfortunately.
Lower Decks is a little bit sillier if that’s your thing.
Sometimes yes, but definitely not with Trek.
So I wasn’t into it originally, but watching it again as an adult I’m kinda fond of TNG. Cast is amazing, stories are (mostly) great. But I just love how mature and optimistic it is, for the most part.
Seeing difficult questions of morality and strife - seeing people consistently confront those situations with incredible ethics, empathy, and like, well, ADULTS…it’s super-refreshing.
And I like the parts of that which shone through into Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise (in that order, at least what I saw of them. I sorta got into Voyager.
Watching Picard, a lot of the characters are there, but most of what I seem to like about TNG isn’t. Plus a bunch of the plot is just nonsense and crappily written. I really don’t like it.
I tried watching some of DIS here and there but it fucking sucks (IMO). SNW still seems to have too much melodrama and stuff I just don’t like. Maybe if I wasn’t trying to compare it to TNG or VOY subconsciously, I would like it more; who knows.
Orville is alright.
Everyone says Lower Decks is really great, and I love Futurama and Venture Bros and Rick and Morty and etc. It probably IS great. But I don’t really want throwaways about how phasers can’t melt steel beams and fart jokes in Trek.
Guess I’m just picky :)
TNG is my favorite too. I think Lower Decks really walks the fine line of being a little bit silly but still being serious enough to feel like core trek.
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks tigeruppercut.
No start with “The Next Generation”, or “Star Trek: The Original Series” if you like older shows
They are better, then move on to lower decks if you like comedy in a star trek setting then strange new worlds
I’d also recommend star trek prodigy, it can be watched as a family
Star trek picard season 1 and 3 are okay but depart from general star trek quality, season 2 is an absolute clusterfuck of awfulness that should be avoided and I have made my own headcannon that it was just another ones of q’s games where they messed with reality creating an awful fever dream of reality and bullshitted about themself dying just to mess with picard again just to fix that godawful season in my mind
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
TIL what the “DB” stands for, I thought it was for “database” lol
Yea, I did, too. I thought there was some kind of joke about not having a database.
Awww, thanks. It stands for “Divided by Zer0” btw ;)
Also great contribution to make Lemmy a safer place
DB0 is the goat
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?
