Really new to this and not sure how to go about actually meeting people on here. Anyone any suggestions?

Many ways sometimes going to wam gatherings so people can get to know you

Well, first of all I would recommend that you fill out your profile with as much information as possible No one is going to want to even entertain the idea of meeting someone they know 0 about.

Add a profile picture, choose your location, a good biography about yourself. And when you do create a post looking for people, fill it with as much detail as you can, and people may be more inclined to respond to you
