I see so many posts of people looking for nudists friends and I wanted to add what has worked for me and for every other nudists I know in NYC:

Go to nudist events and spaces. The majority of folks don't want their first meeting to be in a stranger's apartment to "chill", or invite a stranger into their home. Head to Gunnison Beach or Rock Lodge, two nudist venues just outside of town. Both have public transit options, but admittedly hard if you don't have a car. But in city there are publicly posted nudist events on Eventbrite, Meetup, etc. Heck, even in this sub you see events.

Beyond what's publicly posted on event sites, there are even more events that are invitation only and messaging groups that are screened. Once you are a known quantity, prove to not be a threat and have the right intentions so much opens up for you.

I and other nudist organizers have learned the hard way you can't just have an open door policy. Creeps and pervs do exist. And if you ultimately want something "more" than nudism in it's purist form, my advice still stands. It's OK to have other interests as well. But you still have to prove first you have boundaries and respect others'. Lots of nudist events are wholly chaste. Actually all of them if they are NUDIST. They don't exist to be a gateway to an other community. They exist to be and end in of themselves. But, you also meet lots of friendly and liberal minded folks there who may have ties and ins towards what you also want beyond the pure nudist experience.

If you've had success just posting you want a nude hang, more power to you. But I am guessing a majority of these posts that we see multiples of each day go nowhere. If you are a respectful person who can behave themselves and can socialize with others, go to where the people you want to meet are instead of thinking they will magically come to you

Hope this helps.

P.S. Don't message me asking for access. If you want the express lane to the trusted events, it's a huge red flag and you won't get there.

If you have any real questions, you can ask as a comment. You may not be a weird time wasyer, but plenty of people are and they always want a private chat. I've wasted too much time that way. Public comment only.
