Which communities are good for finding some people to talk to whether its out of boredom, loneliness, or a need to vent? (lemmy.world)

I used to be in r/lonely and similar subs on reddit but I've been shadowbanned for no good reason.

Where can I find some people here to talk with me when things get rough?

Thanks :)

I need my doom scroll. If someone would implement the api option to discard all downvoting I would use whatever front end does doom scroll and defaults to no negativity.

Really, someone should create more mod granularity too, like mod view and user views should have different settings for blocking and voting views by default.

I just generally prefer to use the browser for battery life and minimalism. I have never had the patience to get past page 3 of the default pager view, while doom scroll keeps me around for better or worse.
