If by chatting about “technology,” you mean “bragging about running Linux on a 15 year old salvaged computer,” then yes.

I don't brag. I inform. If you choose to admire me for it, it's your own responsibility.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 8 points 6 months ago

You even brag about bragging, deceivingly.

I think they mean like IRC, Matrix, or Discord: real-time chat rather than asynchronous. They may mean such a thing integrated into a Lemmy client, but it's pretty unclear in the original question.

I meant a place to make online friends to chat about technology and other stuff.

I might check out matrix.

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

That's less about the app and more about the community I would say. I get into those kinds of discussions on freenode (irc) but also on some old school web forums. I'm not hip enough for Matrix but I guess it has some users too.

Nintendo DS pictochat rooms

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

That doesn't seem healthy.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 9 points 6 months ago

If you mean real time chat, then there are a bunch of matrix rooms or discord servers, depending on how corporate-friendly your mindset is.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 6 months ago

Look into irc.

Stack on the playstore is stack exchange has all those type of topics or hacker news

You might want to look into smaller Lemmy instances that ask users to apply to join. Small instances can have pretty tight communities and you can meet people. People aren’t as faceless as they are on larger instances.

Probably very niche but you could get into meshtastic. Most people who own a node a pretty interested in tech. Edit:
You should probably check meshmap.net first before buying a device

Try to login into BBS. Use your computer, telnet or dial up like the old day

There are tons of HackerNews apps now.

Hack, Harmonic, and Trilby are my favorites.
