    I got one from here, not because we were looking for friendship, it was kind of random. They asked for help/knowledge and I gave some insights and then the thread just grew and grew and we agreed to move out off Lemmy to chat in private. But we are internet friend, we live pretty far from each other and I think it is nice to have those kinds of friendships too.

    I am unsure how many actually remember the username of others so having bigger discussions do I think helps a lot. But I have also seen ppl giving a backstory and then just asking to join groups or asked how to find groups, like a dnd group and a lot of ppl invite the person to join them.

    I have only ever made friends in person. I came here to type stupid jokes and thoughts and opinions, none of which is cutting edge or interesting enough to engage anyone with. Yelling into this particular void is more a solo effort on my part.

    1. Touch grass
    2. Find a local group of open source enthusaists
    3. Ask if any of them use Lemmy. If yes, then mission accomplished!

    I don’t make new friends on forums. If I were to try, I’d probably find people who post things I’m interested in and DM them.

    city meetup subs. like https://lemmy.ml/c/phxmeetup .
    but the concept is idealistic and has expected flaws.

    im more interested in a mutal-aid type group to share links and resources for searchengine project. or share knowledge

    Yeah it’s not really much of a thing here, I think. I mean it’s possible, but mostly it’s linkspam with occasional banter added.

    Always open to making new friends! Chatting people up at LAX at the moment. Send me a message and let’s see what happens.

    Asking people out for coffee when you find out they live in your area does not work, even if they’re on lemmy asking for advice on how to make friends since they’re new to the city. It was the only time I tried so its the only relevant advice I had to give.
