TLDR at the bottom,

I am somewhat newly single after a 9 year relationship, and 3 kids. The relationship had been dead for well over a year beforehand so I'm not struggling with that part and have no illusions about fixing anything.

The reason I'm posting here is I am very much out of touch with the "meeting people" aspect of life, I dont really have any friends and i work remotely so meeting people that way isnt going to happen!

I've joined a local dnd group and on the look out for other interest groups however I'm having trouble finding them.

I've also joined some social and dating apps but they are full of either scammers or hook ups or people I have nothing in common with.

Can anyone suggest apps or websites etc to find interest groups (geekier the better) or just places filled with interesting, fun people to chat to?

TLDR: Does anyone have any suggestions of apps and websites to meet fellow geeks and/or just regular honest fun people?
