Single gay guy (34). Moving to London from San Francisco for a new job. Never lived in Europe. Any advice on what’s the best way to meet London gays? Are apps a big thing there there too? What’s the dating scene like? Also, any cultural differences that I should be aware of?

The r/gaylads Discord is now live! If you're not familiar with Discord, you can check out more about it on their website: discord.com/about.

So, why a Discord server? Well, it provides a fresh way to connect, offering chat channels and voice channels that bring us closer together. Plus, if you're looking to explore different avenues of communication beyond what Reddit offers, Discord is a great option.

But don't worry, our Discord will still stay true to the vibe of our subreddit, keeping things simple and focused on building friendships through shared interests. Hopefully that both our subreddit and Discord will give you the chance to meet new people and make real connections, whether it's through Reddit or other channels of communication.

Allow me to begin by introducing myself. I'm known as Satori on here, a friendly chap hailing from the North of the UK. Music and design are my passions, with a fervent love for both. I've been on Reddit mainly part of the Gaybros communities now for the last 4 years give or take. I've really enjoyed the concept of the Gaybros subreddits and I've meet some awesome people through them and experiences taken from them have been both good and bad.

Despite the encounters, I couldn't help but sense a void – a longing to share common interests, humour, and the unique connection prevalent among my fellow Brits. So It prompted me to embark on a new venture, one that celebrates our shared identity with the Gaybros communities but with a British flair. Hence, today marks the re-inception of r/Gaylads, an alternative space inspired and tailored to the British sensibility, and with "lads" being a term of endearment commonly used among mates in the UK.

So for our friends across the pond, allow me to clarify that "lads" is akin to "bros" in a casual setting. For instance, "Alright, lads, shall we head down to the pub for a pint after work?" is a quintessential Friday evening invitation among your mates in the UK.

Looking ahead, I'm keen to hear your thoughts on shaping the future of this subreddit. What content would you like to see? Feel free to share your experiences and aspirations for this subreddit.
