Could someone recommend me a good book about how to make smalltalk, or just give me some specific tips and pointers?
I can go on for hours about a topic I really care about, but smalltalk is literally a mystery to me.
Normies, please show me the way
The weather, ask how the person is feeling, what their hobbies are, share your opinions or ask for theirs on subjects like sports, the weather, animals, tv shows etc

But how do you keep a conversation going?
How do you make "good vibes"?
Suppose I say the following:
>Me: It's really hot now, hope it cools down soon
>Other person: Yeah
Then what? Or if someone asks me about my hobbies, how do I respond in a way to keep the conversation going?

Talking about the weather is boring and a nonstarter. Generally I just ask people questions about themselves, people love to talk about themselves. Even if I'm not interested in what they are talking about, I feign interest and keep the convo going knowing that eventually it will hopefully turn into something more interesting.
If they ask you about your hobbies, then talk about them. What do you love about it? How did you get into that? You can also ask them shit like that. I've found that in general people don't care to learn about you, but they are happy to talk about themselves. You seem more engaging even though you have told them very little to nothing about yourself.
Sure

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

Basically by asking follow up questions
In that scenario you could'vr asken what type of weather they like the most, or change the subject to something else
