Which communities are good for finding some people to talk to whether its out of boredom, loneliness, or a need to vent? (lemmy.world)

I used to be in r/lonely and similar subs on reddit but I've been shadowbanned for no good reason.

Where can I find some people here to talk with me when things get rough?

Thanks :)

Most comms are focused on a subject, I'm not aware of any /c/lonely/.
I know that beehaw has a comm for random chat, but you can't reach !chat@beehaw.org from lemmy.world.

lemmy.one also has one it seems
!chat@lemmy.one

Beehaw needs to reconnect with LW badly. I miss them. I have an account there but never use it any more.

An option for you is to move to an instance that isn't defederated with beehaw, f.e. sopuli.xyz.

Nah. I would rather us all be together. I'm the janitor of 3d printing here. I've tried other accounts and have several, but I only use a mobile browser and like Alexandrite most. LW is well managed for the most part and stable. I've been here since the LW server was 3 weeks old and had less than 2k users.

Ah, I just use the default lemmy webui, if you've fallen for an alternative then I understand moving is hard. :)
I don't feel apart because I use another instance though, just that I strengthen the resilience of lemmy by using a smaller instance.
My lemmy.world account is a few days you ger than yours.

I need my doom scroll. If someone would implement the api option to discard all downvoting I would use whatever front end does doom scroll and defaults to no negativity.

Really, someone should create more mod granularity too, like mod view and user views should have different settings for blocking and voting views by default.

I just generally prefer to use the browser for battery life and minimalism. I have never had the patience to get past page 3 of the default pager view, while doom scroll keeps me around for better or worse.
