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 :(

Don’t worry, sooner or later Nicole will reach out and make friends.

[–] thatchemguy 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm starting to get worried lmao

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Nah, don't. It's just a well known spammer that was here for a little bit. I've gotten one or two messages from the account, that's all

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I'm up to four or five. Honestly, we should keep track and see who gets the high score

[–] thatchemguy 4 points 4 days ago

Haha yeah I was joking. Haven't come across her yet. Maybe some day

[–] fin 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I can introduce you to her.

Edit: wait... the community doesn't exist anymore??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

It seems like it does still exist. The latest post was made just an hour ago.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like [email protected] might be a nice community to post this question to as well :)

[–] thatchemguy 7 points 4 days ago

Oooh thanks I'll give it a shot

[–] thatchemguy 3 points 4 days ago

Thanks! Yours is cool as well :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I don't want to make friends.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Be aware that saying that you like nintendo is dangerous on lemmy

[–] thatchemguy 4 points 4 days ago

Oops... Well, I don't like the company itself, more like the games since they were part of my childhood :)

[–] thatchemguy 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

[–] thatchemguy 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Uh oh... What did I do this time?

[–] Banana 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh I was just kidding because of how similar Nick is to Nicole, and evidently I don't have to tell you about her haha

[–] thatchemguy 7 points 4 days ago

Oh yeah I'm getting a bunch of Nicole comments on my posts though I haven't come across her yet xd

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Follow communities and hashtags to get started

[–] thatchemguy 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I didn't know you could follow hashtags! Thanks. And then what? I message people? Is there a messaging system here? Sos

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

There is a DM system, but that's not really what Lemmy is for. It's basically a reddit alternative. So blogging in various communities. Find topical communities based on your interests, read what people are posting, comment or post your own.
