    I have couple that I still text on occasion. The biggest problem is distance. They both live further away now so it's more difficult to find the time to hang out. I'm might just do what you suggested.

    Joining a club is probably what got me through college. I got to meet people that I got along with that I otherwise probably wouldn't have met.

      Keep in mind that there's also meetup.com in addition to Facebook and Instagram. Bookclubs.com also has that and the klerb app (which I got recently) does the same thing that bookclubs.com does.

      Oh yeah, one more thing: if you know any place that sells TTRPGs or board games, they likely have clubs for that too and you can find a group there to play with and socialize with.

      I guess another idea is to use the Nextdoor app (which is growing in some popularity, last I checked) to find other groups near you depending on your interest.

        Has Nextdoor gotten better? I used it in the past, but stopped because it was mostly just people being racist.

          Oooohhhh

          Yeah, yeah, it may depend on where you are. I think they also improved their TOS... for what that's worth.

          I use it because it can be genuinely useful and gives me a sense of the surrounding area, but of course, some of the worst people use it, ngl.

          I just include it because some people I know have found luck with that app and it's generally included as "useful apps that you can use to find or connect with other people" or the like so, yeah, take that for what you will, ig
