I posted something similar before, but it did not gain too much traction, possibly due to time zones.
It would be cool to see a Lemmy online pen pal/chat pal thread. Tell us about yourself and your hobbies in comments! I’m a person in their 20s who likes world football, theoretical maths and physics, and FOSS stuff. I also like the outdoors and would love to share about outdoor adventures. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to talk!
Hi! I’m 70, so retired and have many hobbies and interests. At the moment it’s beekeeping and coastal rowing that take up most of my time. I took up rowing after arthritis put paid to dinghy sailing, and it’s fantastic. I gave up racing this year but I sort of miss it. I keep bees with a community group, we have 15 hives on two sites. I’m also into photography, hill-walking, knitting, travel, gardening, all the old-lady stuff. And I enjoy tinkering with tech, I run a club website and a blog for a friend. What else? Baking, jam-making, DIY… I’m sure there’s something I’ve missed. Oh, I made a pond and some frogs moved in, so I guess frog-watching? Is that a thing?
I always had penpals when I was a kid. My mother had one when she was a girl too, and finally got to meet her when they were in their 60s.
