>I tried joining discord communities but it's so uninvolved. Every day is different. New topics and new people.
That's because you join big discord servers which you found on sites like disboard.
There are many small cozy Discord servers with only 10-20 people that stay the same for many years.
I am part of such a small server, it's basically around 25 people from Norway all the way down to some desert countries and we've been camping there since 2016, it is almost like a family.
Some I've even met irl, one in Sweden, another one randomly in Paris, and one american who worked here as a soldier at a bar near Frankfurt.
