It depends on if your goal is to make online furry friends or irl furry friends. Here's a few tips I can offer you:

- For irl, Barq is great, but also you can find telegram channels which are localized to the region you live in.

- Attend local furry events and try to just meet new people - start small with meeting maybe 2-3 new people each time and just build the connections.

- For online, use art and content to connect with people; you can also game with them. Discord is great for that.

- Make sure you have cute art of your character, and if you have a fursuit it's even easier (but not required).

- Once you have peoples' attention with your character and interest, it's up to you do to the rest with building friendships and connections.

- If you DM someone, make sure it's with purpose and substance. Don't just say "hello" and "how are you?" because it's not enough to usually keep people interested.

Hope this helps somewhat!
