Meetup can be this for younger folks, but you have to be willing to put in the work to organize and be the first-mover. Find things you want to do, then make open events, effectively inviting random people to them. Bar trivias, karaoke, hikes, etc. are all fairly easy to coordinate and they will attract other people who are also wondering “how do I even make friends now?” EDIT: Also, always make an effort to talk to the new people that join your events, because other people in the group will tend to mostly talk with those they feel comfortable with. It makes new folks feel welcome and they’ll want to come back :)
