    It’s funny to me when people think Lemmy is like a small town.

    Like sure not many people use it relatively speaking, but that also means most people are going to be spread so far and wide that the chances of coming across someone in your town is extremely slim.

      This reminds me. Years ago as a teen I joined a relatively small forum. I got weirded the fuck out when someone on there happened to live in the exact same small town I did. I’ve moved across the country since then but we are still online friends lol.

        That’s a big building. I think the biggest apartment building in my city is maybe 100 units? Mine is only like 25.
