Navigating Quora: Making Friends in a Question and Answer Community

Are you struggling to make friends on Quora?

Hi there,
I'm cool, calm, and respectful. Let me be your Quora friend.

Understanding Quora

Quora is not a social media site, not a chat site, not a dating site. It is a question and answer website. Why did you join Quora if you didn't even know what it is for?

Strategies for Making Friends on Quora

If you've been on Quora for over 2 months and hardly have a follower, here are some strategies you can try:

Following People with Similar Interests

Try following people who give answers that you agree with. Following their followers can also help. People who are passionate about the same topics are more likely to engage with each other.

Engage with Others

Have you ever answered someone else's question or made an interesting, thoughtful comment on someone else's answer? If not, nobody will follow you for being a person who has nothing to contribute.

Quora is About Asking and Answering Questions

Quora is not meant for collecting fake 'friends.' If you joined for that purpose, you might as well leave. Quora is for asking questions or writing answers. There is no 'going viral,' spamming will get you muted, blocked, or reported. Asking for 'followers' will make you a pathetic loser and just get you blocked and muted by the community.

The Nature of Quora

Quora is fundamentally a question and answer site, not a place for making friends. You need to contribute by asking questions and answering them to have a chance of engaging with others. Even if you've only been here for a month, it takes time for others to notice your contributions. However, in your case, you have only contributed one question and no answers or comments, which makes you an invisible newbie among millions. People don't just magically start following you just because you're on the site.

Are you actually expecting others to follow you without doing anything? In real life, you need to be a friend to have friends. Similarly, on Quora, you need to be active and engaged to make friends.

So, are you ready to start making friends on Quora? Start by following people who share your interests, engage with their content, and start asking and answering questions. Active participation is key to making meaningful connections on Quora.
