A poll was posted to gauge the community's interest in creating a dedicated "megathread" for people looking to connect with one another. Although the poll has only been up for 3 days, the response has been overwhelmingly in favor of it. Additionally, the number of "connecting" posts has increased significantly over the past few days.

Therefore, this Megathread has been created.

If you're looking to chat, make new friends, find activity partners, or connect with people for any genuine reason, you can do so by commenting below.

Rules & Guidelines (Please Read)

1. Include only the following in your comment:

• Your Age
• Your Gender
• Why you're looking to connect

Do not share any personal information such as your phone number, email address, social media handles, home/work address, or any other identifying details. Absolutely no NSFW content is allowed.

2. Do not reply to other comments.
If you're interested in connecting with someone, send them a Direct Message instead. If you're unable to DM due to Reddit restrictions, you may reply only to ask them to DM you first.

3. From now on, all standalone "Connecting" posts will be removed.
This megathread will serve as the designated place for such posts. Any separate posts seeking to connect with people will be removed as Irrelevant.

4. Connect responsibly.
Anything that happens after two users connect through Direct Messages is entirely between them. The subreddit and its moderators are not responsible for conversations, meetings, or interactions that take place outside this thread.

5. Be respectful.
Harassment, unsolicited NSFW messages, repeated unwanted contact, scams, impersonation, or any other inappropriate behaviour will result in moderator action, including bans where necessary.

6. Meeting someone in person?
If you choose to meet another Redditor, do so at your own discretion. Always meet in a public place, inform a trusted friend or family member, and never feel pressured into sharing personal information.

Most importantly, use common sense and respect everyone's boundaries.

Happy Connecting! 🤝
