        Sharing my Homelab hobby, the interactions here are so much nicer

          I've just started chatting with someone through DMs on the basis of a post about friends. A lot of users on Lemmy seem to be midlife men, so my cohort is definitely here.

          Although I've been across posts 3 or 4 times where people ask about friendship, no one follows through. I make a room in any chat app they wasn't to chose and it never gets any joiners. One person asked to be added on Steam, but that's not really conducive to chatting, if just briefly see them o line sometime when they were in the middle of a game.

          My favourite interactions..... I just really like that the communities are smaller (than reddit), so it feels like what I contribute counts more and doesnt just get buried. I comment and post a lot more than I used to on reddit.

            The average Lemmy user seems rather tech savvy. I assumed it would be something to bond over.

            That’s a cool hobby 🙂 what motivated you to start a homelab?

              I’ve always found it better to let online friendships form organically based on shared interests rather than seeking them out. With the second method, there’s a good chance you and the other person won’t have much in common besides wanting to make friends, and the conversation will taper off on its own.

              I hope your new chat leads to a strong, lasting friendship 🙂

                tl;dr It started with running Home Assistant for my smart home.

                Eventually it became running my own servers to replace google & Microsoft etc.

                  I got to play some Baldur's Gate 3 with Stamets and a few other Lemmings, that was cool! I'd still be doing it if my schedule allowed.

                    I made a friend I would message with, and he had cancer, he was a middle aged teacher, and we had all these lovely chats. His last message to me was that he was in the palliative ward in a hospital with a fungal infection, and I assume he died after that because I never heard from him again. I miss you my dear friend.

                        Oh this is going to sound like my mind is in the gutter, but there have been a couple of NSFW collaborations between smut posters who met on the NSFW then made some posts together. I find that just delightful.

                            What's your favorite subtype of french fry? Steak? Crinkle cut? Sweet potato?

                                Chips (or as Americans call them, steak fries). we call thin cut chips fries but you can't beat proper chippy chips you get from a chippy like these ones
