Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

Lemmy for that parasocial bond, discord for chitchatting with some people I often game with, and the occasional phone call to people I used to live closer to.
EFIT: Oh, and Matrix for a more "realtime" equivalent to Lemmy.
EDIT2: The discord consists of people I know IRL. We just don't live near each other anymore.
What? I think this is awful advice. Social media is not real friends... It's just Randoms.
To the OP : find hobbies you like and go to them. It's the best way to meet people you will like.
This is the right answer. Pick something you like, find a real-life group that does it and go do that with them.
Worst case scenario, you have to be nice to people you don't like for a couple of hours doing something you like or believe in. Best case scenario you have a great time and meet like-minded people. It's usually somewhere on the best-side of that spectrum.
