So, I made this account, hopefully to make a friend, gf, or even a qt trap bf.
Except I have no idea how to actually talk to people online. I think I'm too boring or something. What's the trick to get past the first hi's? Talking to someone in person isn't bad, though romantically/flirting may be a bit more difficult (never done that either though). Like what's the trick to being interesting online?

I think you have a good start already.
In my opinion, people love answering questions about themselves, so ask questions. Often, when I talk to people, and the convo dies, they will say something in style with "Anything you wanna know about me?"
I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. worth a try, right?

But more seriously. If we look at it scientificaly, flirting online should be way harder than in real life. Lot of things aren't possible. The classic way goes like, making an approach, then try to know each other. Not that of a problem online, it can actually be easier. But oftenly what's make the difference between being a friend and being a boyfriend is in the physical contact. And there is also the eyes, online you can't look someone in the eyes even with a webcam, i think that a lot of the flirt goes by the eyes; and the way your face react to everything happeninng. It is pretty instinctive for humans to detect emotion throught the face. I could also talk about pheromones that isn't a part of the equation on internet. I could go more and more but you got the idea.
That's only my point of view but i think that in orde to actually make a real relation online, you need two people wanting exactly the same thing. In real life a girl can go to a party just wanting to dance, but after flirting may go further. If you go on this forum thinking "i'm here ot make friends" you'll make friends and nothing more. So i think on the internet there isn't real "flirt" it's more searching for someone that is on the same page, then proceed to know each other to see if you can go along in terms of personnalities. But i think that even after finding someone that have all the above caracteristics, if you meet in real life it may not make it at all.
But it's only my humble opinion,i hope it can help you find answers to your questions

Really, I'd say just go for it. Just start up a conversation about whatever you want. That's what I did.

Well, talking to people online isn't that much harder than talking people irl. The only disadvantage is they cannot see your face or hear your voice so it may be a bit hard to judge where you are coming from when writing something, but that can easily be avoided by using emotes. Just make sure it's beyond boring, "just getting-to-know-you" chit-chat...

Take some time to read their profile and take a genuine interest in them. A good starting place is what they like beyond anime because probabaly most people here are fans.
Maybe ask some general questions about what they're going to school for or what they do for a job. Do they have any pets? Music they like?
The initial conversation can be a bit tricky because sometimes you might almost have to treat it like an interview but it's a decent way to get some basics about someone you just met and evolve your convo from there.
My main recommendation for any guy seriously interested in getting to know a girl is to lay off the sexual talk for awhile unless the other party brings it up first. I've noticed its too easy for conversations to devolve to that very quickly and at least for many girls can be a turn-off.

I'm not sure what the trick is. The more I talk to people, the more I -don't- want to talk to people, or find myself disinterested in socializing. I think meeting someone with common interests is a start for having an interesting conversation with someone. If you have absolutely nothing in common, yes, it's going to be boring. Talk to people about something you're passionate about until you meet someone who likes that thing to. Then the real you will open up. That's when I find myself engaging in conversation the most -either that person has a personality that makes me open up, or we share a topic that we're equally invested in.
