Does Lemmy or PieFed have anything similar to the Reddit R4R communities who want to connect people in a local area for friendship? And are there anything like the dating subreddits? Or even the cheater ones? Or like marriedbutchatting?

The geeky people who care about tech usually are the assholes and the bullies who are angry the ‘normies’ are using their tech that they made for themselves.
I agree with you about reddit, but you’re really making the fedi sound a lot cooler than it actually is.
it’s not cool to me, but if i was linux using furry queer person, I’d be in heaven.
A very bleak view, but I can see how that might be right, given what is happening in the US, seemingly spurned on by Silicon Valley social media techies pushing for some sort of neo-Nazi utopia, not always out of ideology, but pure commercial greed, because feeding conflict and controversy is good for the engagement, just as TV trashy “reality TV” shows have skewed heavily towards scripted bitchy clashes on dating, cooking, renovation and everything else which they could easily control, but purposefully select candidates to create clashes, and choose a villain who will only be presented in a bad light because some people love having someone to hate.
yes. it’s affected my life and i have lost many friends who have gone down the rabbit hole insanity of greed and violence and we stopped interacting because i was not going down that hole with them.
it sucks.
