Did you stay in touch with them after you moved away? If you didn't so much, maybe this is why, people move on with their lives. But you should try telling them what is going on with you as you might get a better response.
Is it possible to invite them round or suggest you meet up and go out some time?
Other than that, not sure what else you can do except try to make new friends - would at your church be a start? I know some congregations hardly know each other don't even talk but that isn't how it should be.

In my experience, people tend to get on with life in the moment and tend to lose touch with those from the past. For instance, I've had good friends I've drifted from as we each were busy with careers and raising a family. Others have moved away, and just never seem to find time to connect.
Don't take it personally, just always keep the door open.

The world has changed for many people.
Former communities and hangouts either no longer exist or don't have the same meaning they once did.
Seek out new interests and explore those.
If your old friends are still about, chances are you might run into some of them that way.

Wherever you go, you're going to have to put down new roots for yourself... so, maybe you could at least try that where you are now???
What is available locally that you might enjoy experiencing??? Give that a try first, even if you go alone, you might find new friends as you go about doing that.

@Jayciedubb Maybe for you it's enough, or that is how you roll.
Times always change; that doesn't negate our intrinsic need for human connection and contact.
(Unless you are a cyborg/AI. Actually, even Data emulated humans :) .)

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON you jump to a lot of conclusions. Yet you offer no other likely possibility for the shift. If what you're saying is true then what is indeed happening wouldn't be happening.
What if our whole purpose was to invent AI. And now we're to the point where we can slowly start tapering off the amount of people it takes to run the world.
I should have opened with a statement of affirmation. You're right. We are social creatures and we do need to interact. But ask yourself, are you getting as much social interaction now as you did in the 90s if you were alive back then? We can still meet that criteria and still be declining I know this because that's what we are doing
Today is Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Take a look at the freeways. 20 years ago they would have been full of trucks hauling boats and motorcycles and four wheelers. I just came back from my son's graduation and I didn't see one boat being towed to the lake or river, or one truck full of dirtbikes on the way to Pismo Beach, or wherever people ride dirt bikes these days. To me it doesn't seem like they write them anywhere anymore cuz I haven't seen any in a long time
