Hey everyone!

I'm Nick (he/them), I'm 20 and I'm looking for Fediverse friends! I'm former military, and now I'm trying to get into college (Chemical Engineering). I'd love to make friends in STEM, but anyone is welcome!

If you wanna be friends, let me know!

If this is the wrong sub, sorry admins. Idk where to go :(

Post, Talk and communicate with people.

As you use the Fediverse you will slowly see regular people pop up, talk to them, especially those you've enjoyed talking to in the past or have something interesting to say to.

The Fediverse is about communication and sharing ideas so do that, This can be done through posting in communities or commenting on posts in communities / topics you are interested in.

Hiii!

Thanks. I'm new to all this, so I don't know where to start hahaha

It's all good, yeah it's a little different than your traditional social media as instead of going for reactions and pushing out content you actually need to communicate and talk instead of just pushing random posts more of the time to grow an actually connected audience

Oooh that's cool! Is what I just posted a good way to get started? :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not a bad way to get started, I'd suggest to find some communities you are interested in and begin to post content on them if they don't get much content as it will show others that you are interested in that topic but also feed well for others looking for the content in the future.

This got me thinking. Is there any client app that lets you tag users? I know this used to be a function on reddit. I rarely read usernames so it would be really cool if I could tag someone and their username would have a little reminder on them so I could instantly see I talked to that person before.
