Chatting on Lemmy? Is it a thing?

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?
It's posting dumb and usually low effort memes or jokes that aren't meant to be taken too seriously.

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
Gonna be that guy and mention an alternative - Schildi Chat available for web, desktop and Android. Its based on the Element apps but with some extras. For example if you use the 'Next' variant of the Android app, Spaces work as intended.

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

Maybe two years ago, not anymore

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

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.
You can message people
The "how" depends on your client

We use SimpleX chat. It isn't as popular as Matrix but the security is better and we run into fewer traffickers there than on Matrix.

Thanks, does it have a decent variety of groups?

It does but not all of them are out in the open to discover. Part of how SXC works is based around not being discoverable if you don't want to be.
There is an official directory with quite a few rooms and some unofficial ones for things that aren't allowed on the main directory for whatever reason. I would say the overall size is much smaller than even Matrix but there are some pretty large and active rooms that cover a fair bit of tech and general topics. It's not perfect but I prefer it to Matrix.

Thanks for the suggestion, it’s the tech stuff I’m trying to avoid , seems like ever room on matrix is heavily to lightly related to tech. Which is over my head mostly. I m just looking for a semi constant stream of decent chats or personalities.
