    New to this, starting to understand how it works sort of. I am looking for a place to chat to people, are live text chat room communities a thing here? Or do people chat through comments on posts? Not quite understanding that aspect yet.

    Mostly we just shitpost at each other, but every once in a while we’ve been known to have intelligent conversation.

      No live chat, there is Matrix for that. There is [email protected] if you want to chat with people via comments.

      Ok I see, so what we are doing now is basically what Lemmy is about. Someone makes a post about a subject and people comment on the main post or reply to someone else’s comment on the main post. Is that about it or is there more to it?

        Haha, I’ve seen this word a lot, please define shitpost for me, it is pretty self explanatory but is there an official meaning for it?

            That's about it. That is the core of digg and Reddit Lemmy is doing.

            I found no value is live threads, Reddit live, or Reddit chat so I am happy this aren't here.

              It's kinda like discord. But you can run it on your own hardware. Self hosted as we call it.

                          You don’t have to run it yourself, you can just create an account on an existing server of your choosing, just like Lemmy.

                                  You want Matrix if you want fediverse live chat.

                                  A "live" conversation can happen here (or any forum, really), but it's not super common.

                                    No live chat, there is Matrix for that. There is [email protected] if you want to chat with people via comments.

                                    That reminds me that I was going to set up an "official" CasualConversations matrix chat, but then completely forgot.

                                      I find it analogous to IRC - Many servers connected together with shared users and chat rooms.

                                      I use the Element app on android, and https://app.element.io/ on PC
