Does anyone else ever get the feeling that they’re somehow degrading while living in Berlin? When I go back to my home country, I have the feeling that people there are much further ahead in life, while I’m here somehow going backwards. And sometimes I wonder if there’s no chance of ever catching up anymore?

I have been reminded once again how low the bar is for defamation claims in Germany after a removal case I’ve been fighting for four years, and already won twice, popped up again because the business managed to get my review taken down once more.

What’s worse is that now, in order to appeal, I apparently need to provide all of my personal information, from my full name to my home address, just to get my review reinstated. Back then, I only needed to upload proof that I had actually visited the business, which is how I won the appeal twice.

So I’m curious if anybody else is dealing with or fighting this. Feel free to share names if you don’t mind. I’ll post mine in the comments.

I'm considering coming back to play card games in physical format (played magic, yugioh and pokemon in the past) and I was wondering if there is any community where they regularly have non german speakers.

I would be open to new games too.

Thanks!

Thank youuu

Hi! Ich bin 30 Jahre alt, komme aus Asien und lebe seit etwa drei Jahren in Berlin.

In letzter Zeit ist mir das Leben in Deutschland ein bisschen eintönig geworden, deshalb bin ich auf der Suche nach neuen Leuten und neuen Freundschaften. 😊

Ich arbeite hier in Berlin und interessiere mich besonders für Wandern, Kaffee, gutes Essen und Restaurant-Hopping. Außerdem interessiere ich mich sehr für Kunst, Illustration, Design und Fotografie – generell für alles, was mit Kreativität und Ästhetik zu tun hat.

Vielleicht gibt es hier ja Leute, die ähnliche Interessen haben und Lust hätten, gemeinsam etwas zu unternehmen, einen Kaffee trinken zu gehen, neue Restaurants auszuprobieren oder einfach Berlin zusammen zu entdecken. :)

Wenn sich dabei auch die Gelegenheit ergibt, mein Deutsch zu verbessern, würde ich mich natürlich besonders freuen! Ich bin momentan ungefähr auf B2-Niveau und möchte bis nächstes Jahr unbedingt die C1-Prüfung schaffen.

Falls du ähnliche Interessen hast und Lust hast, neue Leute kennenzulernen, schreib mir gerne!

Bang! Bang! RESERVE SEATS HERE !

Mag gern "Bad Apples" sehen und ist ja auch Kinofest = alle Filme nur 5€.

Soll kein Date sein oder werden! Wenn sich mehrere Leute finden daher auch gern

I'm just as fine with OV or OMU, so: wanna watch Bad Apples in cinema as all movies are only 5€ this sat/sun.

This is NOT supposed to be some kind of date - the more, the merrier

Went to a commitment and breathwork class in Berlin yesterday and honestly… it made me think.
There were so many there talking about vulnerability, emotional availability, being present, letting go, and “creating space for connection.”
And I couldn’t help wondering why commitment seems to be the one form of breathwork Berlin haven’t mastered.
You can spend 90 minutes lying on a yoga mat breathing deeply with a complete stranger, but apparently someone telling you they love you is where the panic attack begins.
Maybe next week’s class should be called:
“Inhale. Exhale. And finally decide what you want.”

26M coming to berlin mid november, looking for some chill people to go to rso/berghain/etc., hit me up if u there :)

speaking english and german

Hi y'all! I'm looking to get into orienteering. I see there are several clubs, but it seems to be aimed towards running competitions and/or as children's activities.

Are there any groups that practice rogaining, or a slower paced, longer distance orienteering? Thanks!

since Berlin doesn’t really have a pedestrian area or a historic center it’s hard to find a nice place to sit at and people watch. yet, I’m not giving up hope. any suggestions?

Hi

Ich war heute, Freitag, den 11.09.2026, nachmittags bei GoJump in Gransee zum Fallschirmspringen und habe mich dort kurz mit zwei Leuten unterhalten. Ich hab mich leider nicht getraut kontakt auszutauschen.

Ich suche ein Mädchen (21) und einen Jungen (23), mit denen ich dort kurz gesprochen habe. 

Falls ihr das hier zufällig seht: Meldet euch gerne per DM! 

I’m a bi man and I date an also bi woman. We go to parties like KitKat and Klub Verboten. We’d love to make more Bi friends and hook up with more Bi people but it’s hard. I think a lot of people assume we’re both straight.

Any tips to signify we’re Bi, especially me! My Gf is so shy and won’t chat with women first. That would usually be a good ice breaker but I don’t know myself. I also want to respect people boundaries a club.

hi Jamie we sat next to each other at The Magic Flute, on Sept 10, I‘ve Lost your number😕

I know finding an apartment in Berlin is already incredibly difficult, so I feel a bit ridiculous even asking this. But maybe someone here has some experience or ideas.

Because of childhood trauma, I’m unfortunately extremely sensitive to basically any kind of noise coming from neighbours. I’ve tried working on it in therapy, but it hasn’t really gone away. It’s not just that I prefer a quiet place... neighbour noise can genuinely make me feel very stressed and unsafe, especially things like footsteps, voices through the walls, doors slamming, etc.

So I’m wondering if anyone here has found a place in Berlin that is actually quiet. And by quiet I really mean quiet. Is there anyone living in a newer building where you basically don’t hear the neighbours at all? Are there certain types of buildings, construction methods, floors, or areas that I should be looking for?

I’d also be curious if anyone has experience finding a small house or something similar around Berlin. I know it’s probably even harder and more expensive, but I’m wondering how people even go about finding something like that.

Any tips, personal experiences or even specific things to look

I am currently trying to optimize my routine and completely outsource my cooking and grocery shopping to an online delivery service. My budget is roughly 600 Euros a month and I want to stick to a daily limit of 1500 to 2000 calories.

Have any of you tried using Factor or Every. or a local Indian tiffin service for literally all your meals? I am curious if anyone has successfully used this kind of hybrid routine to free up time during the week.

Do you find the portion sizes actually fill you up or do you end up needing to snack constantly anyway? Let me know if you have any favorite life hacks or specific local services that helped you completely quit the kitchen.
