New to this, starting to understand how it works sort of. I am looking for a place to chat to people, are live text chat room communities a thing here? Or do people chat through comments on posts? Not quite understanding that aspect yet.

Mostly we just shitpost at each other, but every once in a while we’ve been known to have intelligent conversation.

You want Matrix if you want fediverse live chat.

A "live" conversation can happen here (or any forum, really), but it's not super common.

You can message people

The "how" depends on your client

No live chat, there is Matrix for that. There is !casualconversation@lemmy.world if you want to chat with people via comments.

Ok I see, so what we are doing now is basically what Lemmy is about. Someone makes a post about a subject and people comment on the main post or reply to someone else’s comment on the main post. Is that about it or is there more to it?

That's about it. That is the core of digg and Reddit Lemmy is doing.

I found no value is live threads, Reddit live, or Reddit chat so I am happy this aren't here.
