Where can I meet frens as a person with niche interests? There're only normies on soc, r9k is full of hobbyless hateful people, and the ones that browse my homeboards aren't there to do friends. What do?

The modern internet is lame like that. I hate how Discord replaced traditional forums. If you're young enough you could maybe find someone at a college campus.

Have you considered that maybe you're just not good at making friends? Not in a hateful way, I am too, but those are not niche interests besides maybe *competetive* pokemon.

NTA, but yes they are. And they are certainly niche.

being chronically online fucked up your perception of what niche means. There are plenty of people that enjoy these things if you search in the right places (aka, in their niches), but it's almost impossible to encounter someone that has read homestuck or a visual novel in the wild

Couldn't you meet people into competitive Pokemon at physical competitions? Go to the game stores when they're having events and chat. I also bet a lot of the people at said game stores are into the other hobbies that you're into.

I'm into guns and gardening so my peers are either 40-70 year old men or 40-70 year old women. I'm not entirely complaining since a lot of them have interesting stories. I met a nice lady a few days ago who talked to me about how she met Cary Grant once and evacuated from Indonesia in 1998.

Dating apps have sections to find friends maybe there? The highest concentration of freaks and weirdos can be found on Boo
