The friend groups I ended up having came from; coworkers with shared interests *coughpokemon*, some OKcupid dates that didn't work out, some okcupids that were straight up friendship hunting and by extension I met their friends, friends of friends and a different set of coworkers with shared interests.
I think the biggest and fastest growing was the okcupid friends - I hanged with them at various things and they'd invite me cause the knew I was lonely and the more I got to know them the more things I was invited to and then I started meeting their friends and - the interests are fandom but I'm in vary few of the fandoms they're in which actually works for me because I don't like sharing fandoms ;) - but slowly I vegan to recognise more faces and be "casual friends/acquaintances" which tends to grow. There were lots of times I had to suck it up and do something scary/intimidating like going to parties where I know one person and making myself talk to others - or in the case of coworkers, going to parties where i didn't really know anyone but it's all friendship framework building.
tl;dr friendship making is hard and timely work but hopefully it will happen! Maybe try to organise going with some random over *preferred fandom platform here* so you have someone to explore with and use that as a friendship launch platform but also try not to come on too strong and scare them off.
