Does the Fediverse have such a thing as a famous user?

I remember Reddit had u/ItsJesusAgain, a username every brazillian redditor knew.

Do we have such users on Lemmy and the FediVerse?

Maybe not a user but I like to think Sandy is the unofficial horse of the fediverse. Everyone loves Sandy.

And Mr Softie (RIP) the original fediverse cat!

There are a couple that have become famous for me at least, as i keep seeing them here and there, one is just because of their over the top name, which i ironically cannot remember at the moment

Are you thinking of satansmaggotycumfart?

I love their holiday alt santasmagicalcomfort. I only assume it's their alt though. Not actually sure.

How did you know? :P

It's easily the most "holy shit" handle I've ever seen.

Just interacted with him, hate the guy, he's annoying.

PugJesus is kind of famous for ragequitting 196

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 114d

I only know him from the c/HistoryMemes

cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 116d

There are a few. There’s that one guy with a dozen alts who asks weird questions.

Nicole

DonAntonioMagino@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 116d (5 replies)

Haven’t heard anything from the fediverse chick in a while... Hope everything is okay.

Geologist@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 115d (3 replies)

Apparently it wasn’t even her, we were all deceived.

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 114d (2 replies)

what?

Geologist@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 114d (1 reply)

Someone spammed DMs to basically everyone calling themselves “Nicole the Fediverse chick” along with their photo (actually I got this a couple of times). But it appears the sender wasn’t Nicole and they just wanted fediverse people to find/harass her IIRC.

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 114d

Oh. I first heard she was someone who "sent welcomes to the fediverse to every new user". This is rather surprising.

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 114d

Didn't she delete her account?

BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social · 4 pts · 116d

Violet08 and MicroWave spring to mind.

Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 116d (5 replies)

I don't read usernames so I wouldn't know. I don't know u/ItsJesusAgain either (I'm Brazilian)

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 116d (4 replies)

So, uh, he was known for posting suggestive pics/straight up p*rn of his wife. He also had an OF with her. He was often banned, but somehow managed to be back.

Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 116d (3 replies)

When was this?

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 116d (2 replies)

Around 2023-25.

Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 116d (1 reply)

In 2023 I was still active in reddit, but I guess I missed him.

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 116d

Oh, well.

BradleyUffner@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 116d (5 replies)

That guy with the blue block letter user name.

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 114d (4 replies)

Kolanaki?

BradleyUffner@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 114d (3 replies)

Yup! I haven't seen him around for a while, now that I think about it.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 2 pts · 112d (1 reply)

I'm always here. 🤷‍♂️

Hell, this is my community! 🤣

BradleyUffner@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 112d

Hah. Apparently the Lemmy client I switched to a few months back doesn't show your username in the cool font. That's why I stopped noticing you around. Good to know you're still around! You're one of the very first users I took notice of after I joined.

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 114d

I see him everywhere. He comments more than he posts, though.

N0tTr0xy@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 114d

violet08 and TotallynotJessica for me

swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 116d

Stamets comes to mind

southsamurai@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 116d (1 reply)

There's a good double handful, yeah. Some are more notorious than famous, but lemmy is small enough that it's easy to be seen a lot, if you're active

MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 114d

Wonder if I am famous.
