it’s common to wonder how to make friends as an adult in the area where you live, but i’m curious about flipping this on it’s head: how and where would someone find you in a disposition open to making a friend? in what situations do you welcome an introduction to a stranger?

@chrisamaphone@hci.social : I'm pretty focused on local community, so they big ones for me have been:
- Dropping off introduction letters to neighbouring letterboxes when I move somewhere, or when someone else moves in. These let my neighbours know who I am, where I live, what skills I have, and that I'm happy to lend a hand. I've made lots of friends this way.
- Community events. I'm lucky that our neighbourhood has working bees maintaining community gardens.
- LoRa mesh networking (YMMV).
