  Personally, I went consistently to specific social groups regularly (for months at a time). Eventually you get to know other regulars and one or two or more will become a bond with you. Then invite them out for lunches or dinners. Suddenly you unofficially have a lunch with them weekly or every other week. Maybe group chats over coffee. Texting about work. Etc.

  I made my lifelong friends playing competitive magic the gathering in college. It was thousands of hours together, playtesting, improving our game, trading, going to tournments across Europe... All done on a tiny budget, which created hardship, which helped the bonding. It would be impossible to expend anywhere near this level of time commitment while holding a full-time job BTW.

  Find some way to engage with your hobbies publicly. Hell, even go to a (preferably small) bar you like alone and talk to people. All my friends moved out of the city I was in and that's how I supplemented my social life until it was time for me to move on as well.
