Any advice for how to do this? E.g. do people join Discords that they're interested in and then start chatting (Where do they even find them?)?

I'm in my 30s now, and much of this is unfamiliar to me, but I'm interested in learning more about it. My social network has definitely shrunk significantly these past two years.

Yes! Just make a discord username, and you can 'explore' for communities. Find one you like - for example, Big Hat Logan, there are quite large communities for Dark Souls and Elden Ring respectively. Then just start dropping hot takes! It's just like this place! I'm kidding. You should probably lurk for a while until you understand the community vibe.

That's going to be a lively place though. You might wanna try searching for smaller communities for more niche things.

That's for discord, anyways. My wife uses Facebook for her things (much to my chagrin).

Thanks for the response! Haha, love that you got the naming reference.

That sounds good. I do have a Discord, but I've only ever used it to make voice calls with a friend of mine...but I think I'll definitely check out these public servers. I know my old university has some too but they don't show up on Discord search, so I'm guessing they're private.

Thanks again--appreciate the response. Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur by how out-of-the-loop I am: Telegram, Discord, etc.
