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?

For me it was just being very active on PH and putting a twitter + linkedin link. People will automatically start messaging you. And if they ask you to support their product, it pays to take 10 second out of your day to do so.

Great insights and ideas are already shared by fellow PHers. I would just add on to that - link your socials and personal website on your profile for people to reach out and connect. How do you get people to your PH profile? Engage in discussions, start your discussions, and comment on launches which you truly like and enjoy - the more specific and value-add you do the better.

A lot of great points have been mentioned here already, you can leverage those. I'd add you can try sharing your insights by commenting on questions or posts here and also being open to challenging your own ideas and assumptions. If a person has one's social media profile available feel free to send a connection request mentioning PH.

Great initiative! i am new to product hunt as well. Seeking to make new makers friends and connect. I am a maker with a strong technical background, looking to expand my distribution/acquisition skills. Happy to connect with you guys, my twitter account is linked with my profile as well

Candor and transparency go a long way. Everyone is trying to grow in one way or another.

I would recommend engaging with their content, supporting them if you are doing a launching or something and then sliding into their DMs. I follow this strategy to make friends in Twitter and it really works.

Communicating just like your friends is the best way to connect and network with like-minded individuals. Some things to keep in mind like 1. to be frank about your views. 2. to mention your opinions in a subtle way. 3. sharing knowledge/experiences with others. 4. Collaborate on projects and share your work.

i got most of my connections from twitter - writing thoughts on what resonates with you and your business, engaging with likeminded people (you can find those in the comments of bloggers) and creating smth with them or at least offering to test each other's solution
