Lemmy is small enough that there are some people I recognize, especially in the Star Trek meme community. It’s not really made for conversation though, it’s a forum: a place for sharing your opinion
I prefer it that way. I’d rather be dedicating more conversation with people in my physical space at this time. There’s a reason the Surgeon General declared loneliness an epidemic, and it was heading there prior to the pandemic.
I get it, but each instance could have a community called “chat” or something, and people could talk about a specific topic. It’s not a proper conversation but it’s something… I know that we already do that, in some sense, but it’s always more directed to commenting a news article, or a meme.
Recently I saw that some people gathered to read Das Capital, and they had scheduled each week to talk about a specific part of the book. That’s something awesome and a great way to learn.

That’s cool. There are some communities like that, like dull men’s club. I’ve not engaged with them much, but they seem like cool places to chat
