Yesterday,I found this website occasionally.
Yesterday,I found this website occasionally (revise this word, it doesn't make sense in this sentence).

On the other hand,I want to make friends widely.
On the other hand As well as that (this is better than "on the other hand" because "on the other hand" has the meaning that it is contradictory whereas you mean to say "also"), I want to make friends widely.

Hi, your grammar is really good! :) you just need to get a better understanding of the meanings of English words and phrases. ask me if you have a question about my corrections.

Yesterday,I found this website occasionally.
Yesterday, I happened to find this website occasionally. ----> You can also say "I found this website by accident." ----> It means that you weren't looking for this website but somehow found it.

On the other hand,I want to make friends widely.
I also want to make many friends. ----> You can also say "I also want to make a wide variety of friends." (ie. many kinds of friends) OR "make friends from many places." (ie. friends from many countries and areas.)

"On the other hand" is used when saying good and bad things about a topic or saying opposite things. For example:

(On one hand) Hawaii is very beautiful. On the other hand, it is very expensive to go there so let's go somewhere cheaper for our vacation.

He's not a very handsome man. On the other hand, he's very kind and funny so maybe I will go out with him after all.

I really want to go out with my friends tonight. On the other hand, I have lots of work to do. What should I do!?

I hope that makes sense.
