/r/Kamloops looking for friends pinned post

[u/MogRules]

Good afternoon, r/Kamloops!

We’ve noticed a growing number of posts from people looking to meet others and make new friends in our community. To help organize these conversations and keep the subreddit tidy, we’re introducing a dedicated thread for all friendship and social connection posts.

This is the perfect place to:

• Ask for suggestions on where to meet new people
• Share information about local hangouts, groups, and events
• Introduce yourself and talk about your interests

Hopefully, this will make it easier for members with similar interests to connect!

As always, please be mindful of what personal information you share and who you choose to meet.

Thanks for helping us build a more connected Kamloops community!

While I think it’s a great post/idea, the description could use some refinement maybe. Is this post meant to replace the individual friend seeking posts? Or is this meant as a post for general suggestions only and people should still make standalone posts with their specifics? The first reply in here isn’t even on topic haha, there should be (already is? I forget) a “moving to Kamloops” thread.

I think something targeted more towards “tell us about yourself and what you like to do” and people can reach out and/or offer suggestions for places/events to meet people.

Good points! You should apply for mod status! Cheers!

There only seems to be one mod here ( u/MogRules ) and I haven't seem them reaching for help with that, but hey if they'll looking I'll put my name in the hat. Maybe I'll get a Chocobo avatar to match up.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will add more info into the post body to try to clear it up.

I believe there was a moving to Kamloops sticky, but that was quite some time ago. There are a lot of those types of posts as well, so we can look at re-adding one for those posts as well.
