How do you meet new people? (lemmy.world)

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.

Honestly, besides family, everyone I know outside of work, including my partner, came through sobriety-related meetings.

Outside of that resource (and assuming I was normal and not drinking myself to death), I'd say I would need to be volunteering or involved in some cooperative activity.

The friends don't come from the activity, either. Not in sobriety, nor otherwise. The friends come from showing up early and staying late. The people of character are going to be the ones keeping the activity happening for everyone else.
