Hello everyone,
I have been advised, to post here, in the announcements about a new community I would like to tell you about. It has been created for people who would like to find new friends. In it, you may post that you are looking for friends or you may message a potential friend based on what they said about themselves.
It is called Friend Ship and you can either search for it or click on this link to go there: https://lemmy.ml/c/friendship
Looking at all the new people joining the FOSS world, I thought it could be useful for those not knowing anyone here but obviously, it could be a place for absolutely everyone, looking for friends.

I wish I could get to make online friends, but I feel my tastes are too niche and I don’t know how to keep online relationships alive. Ever since I stopped using social media a couple of years in the past it’s getting harder to make friends. But well.
Try to play with the thought, that many people are feeling like this here, it might give you encouragement to reach out. Don’t think you don’t deserve the support of a friend just because you think you are different. Passion (interest) in each other lets you to experience friendship even if your tastes are totally different. Friendship is based on love, not interest, those built on interest and ‘trading’ (you give me this, I give you that in exchange), understandably are friendships that is quite likely will not be long lasting. Also, in my opinion you don’t have to make anything work, nor do you have to make a friendship work. Of course build the ship together, but if you feel the need to keep a friendship alive, then maybe let each other go and look for a new sailor. :)
