It would be cool to have Lemmy pen pals. Asklemmy, what are your hobbies and what's your life like?

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!

I have a hobby of trying out new hobbies till I’ve accumulated a bunch of stuff, then losing interest and doing new hobbies!

I’ve stuck with carpentry/woodworking, wine / beer making / distilling spirits, and outdoorsy hobbies like skiing / sailing.

Like others here I really enjoy reading, video games, etc. Getting back into scuba!

Biggest problem for me is finding other people enjoying my new hobby, at the same stage of learning, during the time period that I am into it.

I’ve been learning acrylic painting the last few weeks. I’d love to find a forum to discuss this while I’m still into it.

Reminds me of this from one of my favorite short video series years ago. Also, I’m the same!

I keep saying there should be a community for that, but at the same time Lemmy might be too small for that many communities.

Unfortunately I’m not the person you’re looking for as a pen pal. Hope you find someone!

A community can be made of very few people. It just takes a desire to keep it going!

I’m into ham radio, tabletop gaming, 3d printing, and tech

I live in a rural mountain area, so I also get tons of outdoor time on the mountains and in the rivers.

What kind of outdoor adventures do you like?

Hey! I’m into ham radio as well. Perhaps we live nearby since you mentioned mountains. I’m in grid DM79.

Lol, yeah I don’t quite understand how I’ve managed to get into all of these simultaneously.

I want to get into ham radio. Just like the fediverse, it’s decentralized, and it’s the original way to chat across the globe!

Do it! If you’re in the US, you can even take the test online now.
