The Meetup app is a great, no-commitment way to find activities and hobby groups you’re interested in. They don’t pay me to shill for them or anything, I just found it a helpful resource to find out what kinds of things were going on locally where I’d have a good chance of meeting people with common interests.

Other than that, join some clubs and rec teams, get involved in volunteer work, and talk to co-workers. Throw a party or organize a barbecue at a park someplace and invite people you interact with regularly. You’d have to be a real lost cause to not make friends if you do all that.
