Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Probably giving some advice here on Lemmy. But I try to do some small things here and there. Help strangers who get lost at the jungle of German train stations and so on. Generally works out well. And I also get help or advice in return, (for example once I struggle with a ticket machine in a foreign country), so it goes both ways.

It's a funny sort of feeling, no? Giving someone valuable information that could help them sort out some minor/major issue IRL for free.
