what are good in-person activities for making friends?

The most important things are that they happen on a regular basis, at least biweekly, and that it's possible to have a conversation while doing them or that there are at least enough breaks to have them. So, here's a list of examples:

• Table top RPGs
• Fiber arts circle
• Hiking group
• Choir/music ensemble
• Ballroom/swing dancing
• Soup kitchen volunteer
• Shibari practice
• Martial arts
• Recreational team sports
• Community theater
• Fraternal organizations e.g. Elks, Kiwanis, etc
