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 :(

Follow communities and hashtags to get started

[โ€“] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months 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

[โ€“] peterg75@discuss.online 3 points 3 months 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.

Hmmm...Nick...๐Ÿคจ

[โ€“] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Banana@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 months 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

[โ€“] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

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

do you like nintendo?

[โ€“] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Omg yes! I used to own a SNES when I was younger, but I as never good at it. I installed a SNES emulator on my phone and it took me right back haha

[โ€“] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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

[โ€“] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

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

[โ€“] jsomae@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't want to make friends.
