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.
I’m just here to post my fucked-up “performance art” and have a laugh
every once in a while we’ve been known to have intelligent conversation.
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
Gonna be that guy and mention an alternative - Schildi Chat available for web, desktop and Android. Its based on the Element apps but with some extras. For example if you use the ‘Next’ variant of the Android app, Spaces work as intended.
That reminds me that I was going to set up an “official” CasualConversations matrix chat, but then completely forgot.
Hi 👋
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
God I hope not. Just go on discord bro
