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 :(

I'm starting to get worried lmao

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 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

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

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I can introduce you to her.

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

[–] Karl@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

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

Follow communities and hashtags to get started

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day 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

[–] peterg75@discuss.online 3 points 1 day 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.

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

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day 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

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