A lot of these replies sort of hinge on how compelled you feel to treat the game like a hobby and strategize about gear and quests and goals.
There’s a lot of little communities that welcome with open arms people who are enthusiastic and not jerks (aka nice people). That Meetup website comes to mind. If you’re not interested in some kind of financial success or notoriety there’s a pretty exhaustive list of stuff available that I’m sure you can find groups for. Hiking, camping, fishing, college classes, working out, karaoke, book clubs, bible study, creative workshops for writing or painting, community gardens, biking, cooking classes, pottery, environmental cleanup, volunteering, underground (aka not successful) music/poetry.
It’s not quite as easy as /ooc’ing LFG but it’s not as hard as people who’ve never tried make it sound.
