    I don’t feel that people really talk with each other here on Lemmy, what’s your opinion? It seems that we just share preconceived opinions and that’s it.

      Lemmy is small enough that there are some people I recognize, especially in the Star Trek meme community. It’s not really made for conversation though, it’s a forum: a place for sharing your opinion

        I prefer it that way. I’d rather be dedicating more conversation with people in my physical space at this time. There’s a reason the Surgeon General declared loneliness an epidemic, and it was heading there prior to the pandemic.

        I get it, but each instance could have a community called “chat” or something, and people could talk about a specific topic. It’s not a proper conversation but it’s something… I know that we already do that, in some sense, but it’s always more directed to commenting a news article, or a meme.

        Recently I saw that some people gathered to read Das Capital, and they had scheduled each week to talk about a specific part of the book. That’s something awesome and a great way to learn.

          That’s cool. There are some communities like that, like dull men’s club. I’ve not engaged with them much, but they seem like cool places to chat

      I’m not entirely sure I believe that isn’t what “talking with each other” is. How are those two fundamentally different things?

      Because when I talk in person with friends and family, it’s mostly just us sharing our opinions and observations back and forth.
