Which communities are good for finding some people to talk to whether its out of boredom, loneliness, or a need to vent?

I used to be in r/lonely and similar subs on reddit but I've been shadowbanned for no good reason.

Where can I find some people here to talk with me when things get rough?

Thanks :)

Most comms are focused on a subject, I'm not aware of any /c/lonely/.
I know that beehaw has a comm for random chat, but you can't reach !chat@beehaw.org from lemmy.world.

lemmy.one also has one it seems
!chat@lemmy.one
- Beehaw needs to reconnect with LW badly. I miss them. I have an account there but never use it any more.
  
  An option for you is to move to an instance that isn't defederated with beehaw, f.e. sopuli.xyz.
- Lemmy.one is shutting down in 2 months or so, sadly
!casualconversation@lemmy.world ?
- That moved to lemm.ee and lemm.ee moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social
  
  Ah, the pifed communities don't auto suggest on Voyager so I keep forgetting.
Honestly I use discord for this because of the more immediate responses when I'm feeling lonely. I'm in a couple of medium-sized communities that have members around the world so there's pretty much always someone on.
Discord. I mostly post in an Ultima 7 modding community and helped out a bit but we also just talk about video games and stuff.

It's hard to find the smaller servers where you can actually have a decent discussion though, just like IRC back in the day.
