My community of friends has changed a lot in the last year, people have moved further out /out of Auckland or got partners and different priorities. How does one make new friends as an adult? it seems quite daunting

When I moved from Tamaki to Whakatū three years ago I did a few things intentionally to find my community.
I started taking a night class
I started shopping at local stores/farmers market
I started walking daily.
Today I have both good and casual friends & more community than I had in akl in 8 yrs
Something that is interesting to me is that none of my friends here are the same age as me now. Everyone is either older or younger by about 10 years. I think the stage of life we are at has peers navigating kids so it's either ppl before or after kids are grown
