1. A computing system comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the computing system is configured to:
receive an indication of one or more first media items that have been played back, within a particular time period, by a first media playback system registered with a first account of a social media service;
determine one or more second accounts of the social media service that: (i) are associated with respective one or more second media playback systems that have played back, on at least a threshold number of occasions within the particular time period, one or more second media items associated with at least one attribute of the one or more first media items, and (ii) have not yet been connected to the first account of the social media service; and
cause, based on the determination, a graphical user interface to display one or more respective selectable indications associated with the received one or more second accounts of the social media service;
wherein each of the one or more respective selectable indications, when selected, causes the computing system to send a request to connect the first account to the respective second account associated with the selected indication.
