I came from smjk c and nowadays none of my ex classmates type in Chinese anymore lol. Sure we still speak mandarin when f2f with each other out of habit, but our work environments & in many cases our spouses are mostly English, so English kinda naturally replaced Chinese for many of us. We also speak English with fellow Chinese-educated colleagues at the work place.

It’s totally okay to feel that way — I’m also Chinese, but my main language is English. I’m not exactly a true Chinese either as my livestyle and beliefs differ a lot because I’m much more westernized and I’m an atheist. You are welcomed to open a new community for one or more of your interest stacks!

The people whom you describe are not the type of users who frequent here. Hard to create a community where the people you might share commonality with don’t know you exist .

I think you’re trying to find a place to call home in a completely wrong country (so to speak). The apps/websites that the mandarin community uses are completely different with almost no overlapped from the ones majority of the user here use.
