Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Remember back to freshman orientation:
Talk to people in your field, the PhD candidates, other MS students, hell even the undergrads
Pick up and engage in social hobbies. If you're sporty regularly showing up at pickup games is a good way to start, for more nerd inclined joining a game, book, or anime club. The idea is find a social setting for something you love doing so it's less pressure for everyone involved
Go out to the social centers- bars, parks, malls- if you find a place you like you can get to know the regulars
Join a singles activity group- these aren't just for dating
This is wonderful advice. Thank you very much. I'm stealing all of this :)
One last tip, try to organize an online game night with your friends who moved away, discord has a couple built in and I highly recommend boardgamearena.com
Oo good idea
