I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

    You might be right there. And likely you will be put in a more social position. Lots of practice. I’ve definitely become more reclusive since COVID and should heed my own advice. 🧐

      Yeah. Even before COVID I was not really a talkative person. But with everybody quarantining, even I felt like I needed more social contact.

      Normally I wouldn’t even post that much to reddit or Lemmy. But now I try to do it a bit more. I would like to become better at expressing myself and talking my mind

          This surprised me about lemmy actually. When posting something to reddit, it would usually get lost in other posts. And I’d have to try and posting it at another time or with a better title.

          Here people always seems to reply, and with very helpful suggestions most of the time. I had this experience with all my posts.

          It seems like the quality and amount of useful replies is much better on lemmy compared to reddit.
