Hey I've been on MAL for over a year and I hardly can keep any interaction with any other users. I love anime and ive seen a good amount and I like to talk about it, but a year and 117 forum posts later I have like 136 list views and 2 friends which are people I know IRL. How can I interact with people more on this site?

Yeah, pretty much all it takes. You have to be more proactive if you want to make friends, it's just like in real life. :P

Just hit people up. From what I've seen, people seem to come together by just replying to forum post or dropping a comment on their profile.

117 posts may seem like a lot, but it's really not. There are a number of boards, each with hundreds of threads, with a varied number of reply's. So if you want to make friends through forum posts, I'd recommend frequenting a board or boards. I frequent CD and most of the people I talk to also frequent here.

Also, it's been said before, take initiative and talk to people you're interested in ^^

Just be more active in the forums and join a club or two. Pissing off a couple people would help as well.

Be active on the forums, clubs, go pm people, go post on their profiles. There are plenty of ways.

Use profile comments and join cozy clubs (not those stupid card clubs or chat clubs) to make friends

Profile comments are a great way to talk to people and get on their good side. Also, join clubs that seem interesting.

start a conversation to whoever has 50%+ compatibility with you so you will have something to talk about.

Why does it matter?

It's kinda hard blending in when you know nothing about the place, and everybody seems so familiar with each other.


I didn't think blending in on MAL was a goal for a lot of people here. It just kinda happened.

Shitpost on the forum games is an easy way to get you going (notpost count wise though)

Then become an attention whore or start posting and chatting to people in the MAL clubs n stuff

Just keep posting I guess :/

I'm pretty new to the forums but socializing doesn't look that hard.

You should try to interact more by asking for recommendations, making recommendations, take an interest in the person.

Shitposting seems the answers for a lot of people. But leaving nice comments could work, too.
