In our current day and age, it’s rather hard to meet new people and make new friends, particularly for those of us who do not participate in mainstream social media. So, how and where do you meet new people? Feel free to add some context around that.
I made some friends through Meetup when it was a more popular website. I think it might still be around. I went to some board game and rpg meetups.
One of my friends met a lot of her friends through the local music scene. Go to shows, talk to people.
Local meetups are great, I met some of my best friends through attending some tech related meetups, and then ended up getting a job through a connection made through running our own meetup / tech club for a couple years and meeting new people who showed up.
Local makerspaces and startup groups are also great if that’s your crowd.
