so how do people actually meet and make friends these days?

i find it exhausting but i do try to meet people when i move to a new city. (i have moved lots of times.) i've joined meetups, taken hobby classes, language classes, volunteered, joined gyms, running or walking in parks, i walk a lot in my neighborhood wherever i live. i go to cafes and bookstores. i sit at the communal table when i'm at the airport. yesterday i want to a happy hour event in my neighborhood and it was the typical scene. a few people scattered through the room. the music too loud and everyone's faces buried into their phones.

how do people make friends these days? i mean lasting and meaningful friendships.
