I live with my SO and child and I'm still lonely as fuck. Not their fault, it's not their role to be my therapist or w/e. But I sure wouldn't mind being able to hang out with some people who share my interests. But ever since Covid, that reality is just... gone.
It's also a symptom of the way American cities and suburbs are designed. Where are the third places where you can walk to for hanging out after work? Where are the parks with restaurants, events, space for exercise? And even if they do exist, you're packing up your car to be outside maybe once a week (because it's a big thing to get your kid in the car) instead of just stepping out of the house.
Living life in most of the US is designed to feel lonely.
Any online communities? What are your interests and most likely someone here on Lemmy is also a vore larping furry.
I'm a Reddit refugee from when they axed 3rd party apps. I was quite active in the ancient coins subreddit, but there's simply no way I will ever grace their site with a click again.
There's an alternative on Lemmy, which I've used, but there's literally only one other active person. Two does not a community make.
Well, I hope things change for the better in that community. 🥁🥁🛎️
