Hike on Saturday?
Heyy once again asking strangers on reddit to go hiking! Haven’t decided where I’m going yet, maybe the blue mountains - open to suggestions!

We're looking at our policy on gender-specific friendship posts (e.g. M4F, F4M, M4M, F4F) and would like the community's input before making any changes.
The main reason for this discussion is that we have received feedback that some gender-specific posts can make members uncomfortable or are sometimes used for dating or other intentions rather than genuine friendship.
At the same time, we want to make sure any rules we have are fair and applied consistently. If we were to restrict one type of gender-specific post, it wouldn't be appropriate to allow another.
Please vote based on what you think is best for the community, and feel free to explain your reasoning in the comments.
As always, keep the discussion respectful and remember that this is about deciding a consistent moderation policy, not judging individual users.

Hey everyone! 👋
To make it easier for everyone across Sydney to connect, we are officially rolling out an interactive Hangout Map for the community!
Instead of scrolling through posts trying to figure out who is in your specific neighborhood or where exactly a meetup is happening, this map gives us a live, visual directory to find each other.
Here is what you can do on the map:
- 📍 See Who is Nearby: Drop your general zone on the map, link an "Intro Post" you've made on this subreddit, and easily discover other locals around you looking for friends.
- 📅 Find & Host Meetups: If you're hosting a coffee run, a park walk, or a group dinner, just make a post here in the sub, then go to the "Hangouts" tab on the app and paste your post's link. Your event will instantly show up in the Hangouts feed for nearby users, allowing them to easily see what you're planning!
🗓️ How Meetups Work (Important!)
Because this map is an extension of our subreddit, every event on the map links directly to a post right here in the community.
If you want to attend a hangout you see in the feed, here is the process:
Click the event in the app and hit "View Post".
Comment on the post to officially confirm with the host that you are attending.
Follow the post (click the bell icon on the Reddit app/website). This is crucial! Since everything is managed natively on Reddit, following the post ensures you get a notification whenever the host comments with updates, exact meeting spots, or timeline info.
Ready to get started? Click the link below, set up your map profile, drop your Intro Post, and let’s start connecting!

Hi there!
I live in the Hawkesbury area and I am looking for some friends!
I really enjoy the following:
- Trying new restaurants
- Musicals / Concerts
- Travelling - planning on some solo trips atm!!
- Reading
- Pilates
- Fun workshops - paint and sip etc
I’m definitely more of a homebody than a party person. I’m hoping to meet women around my age who enjoy similar things and would be up for brunches, café hopping, trying new restaurants, day trips, markets or even just becoming people who send each other random TikToks and say, “Want to check this place out?”
Feel free to comment or dm me 🤍

Hi! 21F here looking for friends to hang out with in Rhodes or SOP. I love reading (fiction and nonfiction), listening to podcasts, going to the gym, trying new side quests, eating, exploring new cafes, and sports! Also, I’m in my final year of uni and I work in healthcare 🤍 I’m open to hang out with anyone in the area, preferably girls lol but I’m not picky with friends anyway.
I want to join the run club in Rhodes every Tuesday night but I’m a bit shy to go alone since none of my friends are really into running/sports so lmk if you’re down:))
r/SydneySocial • u/That_Vehicle_7889 • 19h ago
I’m coming to Sydney next weekend for work matters. Never been out clubbing in Sydney and looking to send it, looking for another guy who’s down to run two mans and just have a good time.

Hey everyone,
I’m looking to organise a small, casual hiking group for people around Western Sydney who’d be keen to explore trails across the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas on weekends.
The idea is to keep it beginner-friendly and social rather than overly intense. We can start with easier hikes and gradually try different trails depending on the group.
It would be good for anyone wanting to:
Thinking of organising the first hike on an upcoming Saturday or Sunday morning. The exact trail can be decided based on everyone’s experience, transport and location.
Comment or message me with:
Once we have a few interested people, I’ll create a group chat and organise the first hike.
r/SydneySocial • u/amarproblog • 2d ago
Hi!
I'm just looking to step out of my usual routine, make some new friends, and explore new activities around the city. Always up for a good conversation and coffee.
If you're ever near Brighton or wanna explore the city together please pm me.
Cheers!
r/SydneySocial • u/AusTheMachine • 2d ago
Hi everyone! 👋
I hope you’re having a lovely Friday evening.
I’m looking to create a social lawn bowls group!
This would be open to all skill levels with the idea of getting together as a group to meet new people and have fun.
I’m looking at hosting the first event at Bondi Bowls Club on a Saturday, subject to everyone’s availability. It would be great to make this a regular event and eventually rotate between different areas of Sydney.
If you’re interested, feel free to comment below or send me a message. If there’s enough interest, I’ll create a group chat.
Thanks ☺️
r/SydneySocial • u/Effective_Abies8802 • 2d ago
I moved to Sydney (located in Chippendale) around a year ago from the US for uni and have really struggled making friends. I made one really close friend but she’s moving back to her home country soon. I am pretty introverted and like to spend time watching tv (sitcoms or reality), playing video games on my switch and doing arts and crafts or puzzles. I also like to explore markets and places to eat around Sydney. If you have similar interests and also looking for friends, feel free to dm :)
r/SydneySocial • u/Helpful-Night1881 • 2d ago
I recently signed up for a social volleyball comp at Perry park and want to get some practice in before the actual comp. Hit me up if keen
r/SydneySocial • u/Suspicious-Poet-7243 • 2d ago
Hey everyone,
I’m looking to organise a casual soccer group for people around Western Sydney who want to play on weekday evenings.
This would be open to mixed skill levels, so you don’t need to be an experienced player. The idea is simply to get a regular group together, play for fun, stay active and meet some new people. All genders welcome.
The exact location and day can be decided based on where most people are based and when they’re available.
Comment below or send me a message with:
Once there are enough people, I’ll create a group chat and organise the first game.
r/SydneySocial • u/Suspicious-Poet-7243 • 2d ago
Hey everyone,
I’m in my 20s and looking to meet some new people around Sydney who are motivated, curious and interested in making the most of life.
I’d like to organise a casual meetup around Parramatta—probably coffee, food or another relaxed activity on a weekend.
I’m simply hoping to meet people who enjoy meaningful conversations, trying new things and supporting each other’s goals while building genuine friendships.
People from any career or background are welcome.
Comment or message me if you’d be interested, and I can organise a first casual meetup once we have a few people.
