<p>Christmas can be an especially difficult period for people who are socially isolated.</p><p>If you&#x27;re feeling lonely, whether alone or among other people, there is a group and a hashtag you can follow which encourages friendly chit chat:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/joinin" rel="nofollow">@joinin</a> </p><p>➡️ <a href="/tags/joinin/" rel="tag">#JoinIn</a> </p><p>It works like this:</p><p>1. Follow the tag and/or group<br>2. Post about what you are up to in everyday life (cooking, walking the dog etc) and include the tag and/or group<br>3. Reply to someone else&#x27;s Join In posts in a friendly supportive manner</p>

<p>(In case you missed this...)</p><p>If you&#x27;re feeling a bit isolated this Christmas and you want some everyday conversation, there is a special hashtag and group you can follow where people will be posting about what they are up to:</p><p>➡️ <a href="/tags/joinin/" rel="tag">#JoinIn</a> </p><p>➡️ <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/joinin" rel="nofollow">@joinin</a> </p><p>Feel free to reply to posts on this tag and group! The idea is to encourage friendly chat among people who are doing everyday stuff like food, walks, hobbies etc.</p><p>You can post anytime, but the tag and group tend to be most active at Xmas.</p><p><a href="/tags/xmas/" rel="tag">#Xmas</a></p>
