"Recently Met" / Missed Connections
wetfart
So I'm more or less socially retarded, and I feel that I'm not alone in this. I can't count how many times I've really enjoyed interacting with someone new to me in VRChat and thought, "hey, I should really friend this person," but yet I didn't do it right away, still feeling a bit socially anxious and wanting to warm up a bit more before reaching out...
TLDR; by the time I was finally done processing my recent social experiences with these new people and ready to add as friends, they were typically already gone from that world. This has happened to me so many times! If I could lookup "recently met players," I'd be able to reconnect, but my memory isn't that good and many of these players were international, so I don't know how to pronounce or write their names anyway. I've had zero success looking them up.
With a "players met" feature, all of these budding potential friendships could grow into something real for people like me who struggle to connect. It's really difficult to build quality relationships when you just hop from world to world — but if we could reach out to the people who affected us and touched our hearts, it would make a world of difference!

for the time being get into the habit of "showing avatar" of everyone you speak to.
then use https://vrchat.com/home/playermoderations to see everyone you interacted with
Mr. Jekk
Even just being able to filter user searches by trust level would go a long way --- for instance, if you met someone who was a Trusted User, that number of total users is very small compared to the number of Visitors in VRChat, so a user search would be greatly reduced and much easier to locate the person you wanted to add as a friend.

This is a really good idea, please implement something like this 🙏
