Edit : Just to clear up some shit I do have IRL friends its just that moving around coupled with the fact that I don’t have Instagram or Snapchat has made me lose a lot of contacts and the ones that are left aren’t always available which is quite understandable as we all have our own shit to deal with and sometimes when their free I’m not etc .

There are no respectable chatroom anywhere on the internet that I can find (I have not checked discord which is said to have some but I’m not going to check it and I’m not hopeful as it is the only place I haven’t checked yet.).

My interests are just movies and TV, music etc but we can talk about anything . Don’t DM if your a creep or some shit .I didn’t know where else to post this and hope it is OK I’m just tired of the forum format and wanna have a more connected conversation . That’s about it .

Like its not even easy to make friends on Lemmy we just have fun in a thread and move on like each experience or fun we had is in a capsule and can’t get out of it . Its true for real life too I guess we meet people become friends and then move on because life gets and then you look back and see they were always temporary and was there because you and they were there at the same place at the same time and was never meant to be . like how 99% of people replying and I will not be in touch when this post becomes 2 days old .

Idk why I wrote the last sentence out maybe because I moved to another state and had some friends in the flat I lived and now that I have moved back (we all split to our own state after the study I was the last one to reach there I only stayed there for two months while there were there for 9 months or so) we have minimal to no contacts .

            Idk I guess I realized making friends online is not actually possible or something .

              It’s harder but it’s possible. I’ve never done it in a place like lemmy because, like you said, we have a good time in this thread then get in with our lives.

              But I have had friendships with people from smaller communities, like those on forums - where you have maybe 20 regulars and however many other people who drop in and out over the months and years.

              I actually did make some friends from reddit, because I joined a weekly book club someone started on there.

              Anyway, there are ways.
