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 :(

Don’t worry, sooner or later Nicole will reach out and make friends.

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm starting to get worried lmao

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 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

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] OmgItBurns@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm up to four or five. Honestly, we should keep track and see who gets the high score

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I can introduce you to her.

!nicole@feddit.org

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

[–] Karl@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.

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

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks 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

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't want to make friends.
