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.
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 actually makes sense. Haha
It’s posting dumb and usually low effort memes or jokes that aren’t meant to be taken too seriously.

Maybe two years ago, not anymore
No live chat, there is Matrix for that. There is !casualconversation@lemmy.world 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?
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.
Got it, thank you for the answer
What is Matrix?
It’s kinda like discord. But you can run it on your own hardware. Self hosted as we call it. https://matrix.org/
Ok, I’m not that technical but I’ll do some reading.
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
That reminds me that I was going to set up an “official” CasualConversations matrix chat, but then completely forgot.
speaking of… anyone hear from Nicole recently?
She left us and took the kids.
Last I heard from her was back around the beginning of April.
There’s conversations in posts and sometimes messages, but if you’re looking for live federated chat, you might want to check out Matrix over something like Lemmy or Mbin, which are more forum-like.
Kinda got your wish with one post…
Just ask a question every once and a while…
Very true, this has answered a lot of questions
Hi 👋
God I hope not. Just go on discord bro
You can message people
The “how” depends on your client
