Nope, just ended! It's basically impossible to meet people through Webtoon. If you comment on someone's comic a lot, they will definitely notice you, but it's not really easy/appropriate to have a dialogue (that's not related to their episode haha) that way.
I hang out on r/webtooncanvas and r/webtoons and I've found some really cool creators to follow there. Not as easy to make friends/chat as it is here by a long shot but there are some interesting conversations sometimes and you may find some great comics to read.
If you're looking to read smaller comics, I'd recommend going to the genre section of the Canvas part of the app for whatever genres you like and sort by date. I've found some extremely underrated work that way.
