I have heard of people finding friends here. How? (hexbear.net)

Because I noticed that, all I am able to really do is find a post about a vague topic that happens to align with my narrow range of interests. All I can think of doing is keep occasionally (Every 2 days) make a comment or two on a post that I like, provided I can make a good insight that nobody else has.

Is that it? Just making alright quality posts and comments until someone wants to be my friend?

So far, I have only really been able to make friends on Reddit or Discord, but not on here (only around 4 friends total between those two apps). How would one make or find a friend here on Hexbear?

i think it takes time, i think people start to recognize posters over a period of time and then eventually the stars will align and you'll have a deep-nesting over the course of a few days ... and if it happens more than once, well, then I mean I guess you're friends now. After a while you start to feel comfortable ... maybe one of you asks for a Matrix account, or you DM on the bearzone... and uh then sometimes things evolve from there but I digress

but fr idk I have no idea how to intentionally do it, it feels totally by accident and its kinda scary to think about how if i missed a post or two i wouldn't have met or gotten close to at least two people who have had a big impact on my life, but lol I am so so so glad to have taken a chance and posted a bunch.
