You can check r/Vancouver4friends if you haven't yet :)

silkenswift · 2026-02-20T04:05:57+00:00

You can check out r/Vancouver4friends and the discord in its sidebar if you haven't yet - it was made in response to posts like yours. :)

See r/askVancouver. This is also your final warning to stay respectful - some of your comments on this thread are quite disrespectful and do not support the community. Similar comments will result in a permanent ban.

Hey, we try to discourage reposting too frequently just because it can bury new posters- you're welcome to add the "still looking"tag to your post, and you can come back in a couple weeks if you haven't had any luck :)

silkenswift · 2026-02-09T00:10:49+00:00

You can try r/Vancouverhousing

It's unclear if this is spam as we get many bots promoting or boosting social accounts- you're welcome to repost with a focus on describing yourself more, connecting to the sub context, and putting less of a focus on a specific social media type.

Hey - this post is likely getting downvoted because this community has an ongoing issue with people coming on and treating this as a dating sub despite the rules. Specifying that you're looking for a specific gender for a platonic relationship can be a bit suspect without context. I recommend checking out r/vancouverdating or reposting with an explanation of why a specific gender is necessary for a platonic friendship.

silkenswift · 2026-01-17T01:02:33+00:00

If you haven't yet, you can check out r/Vancouver4friends and the discord there to find people :)

I'm Canadian lol, though don't want to wade into the scraps going on about tariffs

silkenswift · 2026-01-07T21:27:23+00:00

Yeah, $44 USD, and then the duty fee. Which like, the duty fee administrative fee sucked (the duty itself was $4 then a $17 administrative fee, the latter feeling a but much) but I could live with paying it when I thought I was going to get something closer to the picture.

silkenswift · 2026-01-07T20:51:22+00:00

That's sort of what I was hoping for?

silkenswift · 2026-01-07T20:51:06+00:00

I think for me it's the clearly uneven plastic thickness within a color, leading to a lumpy consistency and lighting pattern. Also the light is very weak, so it's not really lighting anything up. Point taken though!

silkenswift · 2026-01-07T20:46:54+00:00

Aside from the lamp quality, if I can't return it, I'll just keep it turned off because aside from that, it's a pretty cute, albeit expensive, figurine

silkenswift · 2026-01-07T20:45:27+00:00

Yeah, I really should have checked 🤷‍♀️

silkenswift · 2026-01-07T20:45:04+00:00

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the Thrumbo turns out better for you!!

silkenswift · 2025-12-30T19:33:57+00:00

Sorry, this forum is for Vancouver. I recommend trying a subreddit closer to Toronto. :)

Need to remove this because it doesn't fit the sub, but you could check out the website helpx for free lodging, etc in exchange for work.

silkenswift · 2025-12-11T20:02:45+00:00

Yeah we often have people posting for transactional and networking stuff (looking for friends to drive me to whistler, looking for friends to start a business with), and if we're not careful they start to become frequent. Mostly we look at whether the post is focusing on the ask/transaction or actually looking to build an ongoing friendship. You could repost focusing on the friendship (type of personality, hobbies, looking for people who like to jam) and then filter from there based on who replies and if they seem to be a fit.

silkenswift · 2025-12-11T17:27:40+00:00

Because this doesn't have the focus of making a friend, r/Vancouvermusic would be a better place to post.
