As a recent transplant myself these were some of the things I was looking into to make friends.

Book clubs, gyms, gardening clubs, outdoor groups/recreational sports leagues, joining a church/community group.

Those are just my interests though. I've heard the Meetup app is fairly successful for people, you could browse that and see what strikes your fancy.

Have you found a gardening club or rec sports league? I moved here just before covid and have been having a hard time.

I've only been here a week so not super into it yet and frankly haven't looked into rec sports yet. But I was planning on trying to get in touch with Grow Pittsburgh, which seems to be an active community gardening club.

PSL is the main rec sports league. There's also Stonewall if you're of the limp wrist persuasion.

Were you able to make friends as a result of your efforts?

I mean I'm super recent, only been here a week haha. But so far so good. I've met a few people though my drinking activities (love breweries and I brew beer, so homebrew clubs) but not applicable to OP.

I just met someone today after a church service who is super into gardening and he invited me over to his garden/flower shop. So I'd say fairly successful in the short time so far.

I'd second all of these. OP, you mentioned you're pretty flexible - but what do you like to do, if it is just you choosing?
