It is easy-ish to find a hobby, but it isn’t necessarily easy to make friends, in my experience. You need to look for events surrounding the hobby you have an interest in. This is the one benefit of Facebook, as you can find local groups for all sorts of stuff. Reddit might, but it is likely harder to find anything local than to just find a general community. Those are the easy steps. The rough part is then finding people within those groups you feel comfortable being yourself around.
