Ask HN: How can I make some online friends who like startups/coding?

Hi there! I love hanging out here on HN, so many awesome, smart and creative people to talk to. But over the years, I haven't made a single personal connection, there's no one in this community that I know by name.

There aren't a lot of likeminded people where I live (and I have trouble making real life friends because of health and social anxiety reasons), but I think it would be pretty cool to get to know someone online.

I've been playing a lot of DnD (and doing some improv) on discord recently, and that really helped me to meet some awesome people, but I'd like to get to know someone who's into startups/entrepreneurship/coding/etc.

How do you meet people like that? Any advice?

Edit:

If you're interested in this too, I've just made a discord server we can use to hang out, and talk about startups/coding/tech/scifi/whatever:

If this worked well for DnD and Improv, it should probably work well for this too.
