Have you guys made friends on Reddit? How does it work?

Hey everyone,

I’ve always been curious—have you guys ever made friends on Reddit? If yes, how did it happen?

How do you guys do it? Do you just DM someone after interacting in a thread, or is there more to it? I feel like it would be a bit awkward to randomly start a conversation with someone here.

I understand making online friends on apps designed specifically for talking to people on the internet, but I don’t quite get how it works on platforms like Reddit. It feels a bit different here, so I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
