I work in IT, so most of the people I meet are in IT. So I know a little bit about a lot of IT topics. I also learned a little bit about every state, because IT people tend to move around a lot, so I always come across people from other states.
Try to stay up on pop culture a bit. Popular TV shows or music for your age group. For example, I know more about Taylor Swift than I should (though that’s because my wife won’t stop talking about it).
I’m told that sports and cars are very popular topics, but I never tried with those. I have zero interest.
There’s also a casual conversation channel here on Lemmy. Join those discussions and practice.
