Now if only I could figure out how to get to know people 🤔
Something I’m terrible at as well! I don’t think there’s a DM feature in Lemmy which is what I would say is the way to become more “friends” with someone than following them down comment threads.
Not trying to self-promo but I do have a Twitch channel and discord server of the same name (link in my bio) if you feel like stopping in and chatting more and whatnot! Open to anyone else who wants to be part of that community too!
Edit: realized there is a message feature, but it’s not available for me on the Memmy app for iOS, but appears to be available in the browser version of LemmyWorld!

What…what do I do now? Am I doing this right?
Remember that one time when we were talking about that, but then we found out where the cheese was and there was less talking and more cheese eating?
Cheese you say?? What are we doing here, leggo!
I love the whole thing to be honest. I am happy to have replies days later. Reddit posts would go "stale" so fast and even if you did comment, you were more than likely to be torn to shreds for existing. It isn't perfect here, but that is because we are people. Getting even half a voice is far better than the anxiety inducing nightmare the Internet tends to be. If I don't want to argue with someone, I just don't respond. If I or someone else end up replying days later, awesome!
I feel a lot more comfortable chiming in once in a while here. The Internet will always be the Internet, but getting even a tiny bit of human connection is amazing. Going from letters, phones, AOL, to now is a miracle. We may be fucked as a species, but sometimes the little things are enough.
Now, go watch Contact. That movie is my absolute favorite movie of all time. Ghost hugs for all!
