Any ideas on how to leverage PH and/or other communities to make friends with other makers?

Hello everyone! As someone relatively new to the community, I've been blown away by the creativity and drive of fellow makers. I'm eager to connect and build friendships with like-minded individuals who share my passion for building and making an impact. I'm curious to hear about your experiences connecting with other makers. How have you successfully made friends in the community, and what strategies or approaches do you recommend for someone new and looking to build meaningful relationships?

Bonjour Maya 👋 Stay genuine and authentic when discussing launches and community posts (like you already do :) ). Feel free to add people on Twitter and Linkedin, because most makers are open to discussing, answering questions and learning. PH has changed a lot since the past years as it grew (some people are more looking for the ranking than anything), though you'll still find passionate and minded makers :)) You'll find my Twitter/Linkedin on my PH profile :) Have a good day!

Hey, Maya. Connecting with other makers is great. Normally, Makers link their other socials on PH profiles and people talk on other platforms since PH doesn't offer dms. I've made some friends and mentors from Ph and it's awesome

People are always seeking genuine connections. So, if your attitude is genuine and you interact truthfully with the makers content that will be positively received. You can also, add her/him on other social media and engage with her/him on multiple platforms. Once you start seeing your interactions developing, you can send a dm and get to chat through dm or zoom.

Hi Maya, From my experience to date, connecting with makers and understanding what they are building helps you foster your relationship with them. Keep engaging with other products and discussions on PH as it helps you in building connections.

Just as Yeshwanth said - YC co-founder matching is great! You can not only find a potential partner but also meet and talk to a lot of people from your field. Highly recommend :)

Yeah, I too like connecting with makers. Lately, I see so many people sending connection requests on LinkedIn but the sole aim of those connections are just for getting support fo PH launch. Even if I try talking about building/making stuff, they don't reply to it. So I'm not sure if people really want such connections.

Hey Maya, I'm still getting acquainted with the platform myself, but I would love to be connected. I have been looking to make some buddies in the space, so I'd love to connect on social if you're open to it. :)

Always try to join discussions, try to answer questions, and connect to their linked social accounts.
