So…how do you go about finding connections here? It seems that you have to friend people out of the blue which is uncomfortable and weird. You can’t see all of the people who like your posts so you lose that compass to start a conversation. I did have one person like what I said but I did some research and found that he likes and comments on everything everyone says so that just tells me that he either works for loosid or he’s a bit batty. I don’t feel like it was real. We in recovery isolate easily and it seems like this setup helps the isolation process along because I’m already bored here.

I’m open to being friends with anyone. Some never message or interact and that’s on them. Some are clearly scammers and they’re deleted quick. It’s like getting a phone list. Building up a good foundation of friends that you have some kind of connection with. You never know who’s gonna be the one to save you. Start somewhere.

More concerned about bots and scammers than anything so I guess I am trying to confirm real people but the feed is pretty much the same chatter which is a bit concerning. Either a fresh relapse, post of sober time or gratitude. If I can find a bit more personality and authenticity in the feed, I’d be more comfortable lol.
Hey I appreciate you reaching out. I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth being on here. I’m sober 2 years now and I am doing well. I just wanted to try the app thing to see what it is about.

Just put up some posts and interact. You will find out really quick who is real or not. As always a good looking women friending you out of the blue is a red flag and most likely a bot.
It’s kind of a weird app but not bad 
lots of scammers. Congrats on two years!

J is absolutely correct. Just comment when you want, post when you want, and you'll find people who you want to communicate with. Or simply just read and see how you like it. Guarantee that you'll see a topic very quickly that seems really relevant to you.

Yes i find this app complicated to chat but there are some good resources and such
I don't come here to make friends, I come here to vent, think out loud,and get feedback from my peers. I never thought this app was for making friends. I do have a few ppl that I like reading there comments and some I don't.

Not looking for friends….connections in sobriety. Thank you for your input but I think you’re missing my point.
I have yet to come across a scammer ! Or a bot for that matter! Everyone I have interacted with or has commented on my posts have been nothing but sweet and genuine! I sent you a friend request!
Thank you. Yes I am starting to see that as well.
Welcome Graig! Of course there are scammers and bots but they are pretty easy to spot.

I don't find this app being any help at actual friendship. It's more of a space to share and get advice on getting sober.
That's just my experience. I have a few people that I talk to often on this site but it's about sobriety.

I didn’t mean “friends” like let’s hang out. I meant friends as sober connections on the “friends list of Loosid”

Glad you're here man. This is a good place to talk sober journeys, life events, like what you want to, dispute what you wish.
How about starting a thread about everyone's favorite sober activity or something?
I’m new to it as well and I understand your frustration. I find this app a bit hard to understand what’s going on.
