This game looks interesting can you play online with randoms?

is there a party matchmaker ?

You absolutely can to a degree.

Basically as soon as you complete the tutorial, you can choose to join a world at random, and you are given access to like...10-15 different games you can join that are about your "power" level.

Not sure how it works for friends, as I don't have friends on steam that actively play Remnant 2.

So I just got it. You can open your game to others, and you can join others randomly. For the first hour or so I was getting connected to people constantly. I went to lunch and came back and no one joined my game the rest of the afternoon. So I have no idea how matchmaking works... but it is possible to play with randoms.

Friends show up in that same list as permanent slots when searching or can be joined directly through steam. You can also refresh the list by simply clicking the difficulty again or quick match.

It could be that you left the game running while AFK, people joined, saw you AFK and blocked you for being part of the problem.

People probably also look for specific locations when searching so maybe you were just in a less popular zone.

I was not afk... not sure where you came to that conclusion.

There is but since it is p2p (peer to peer) match making its all dependent on the hosts internet or location. So if they have bad internet or are quite far there will be a noticeable delay.
which in this kind of souls like game were timing is so important it kind of hurts the experience, for me at least. usually ill have to leave the game until i find someone with a decent connection. I don't know why they did not do dedicated servers. I feel the player base is big enough to warrant hosting some servers.
I always toggle my flashlight at spawn to check connection. then i leave if its real bad.
