How does someone in their early 20's make friends in a new city? [recovered]

I'm just going to copy my old comment and modify it a bit:

Happy hours

Concerts

Conventions

Dance/Yoga/Cooking/Art/Music classes

Political or religious orgs if you're into that

Charity/Nature/Animal orgs

Coed sports

Gyms (including specialty gyms, like rock walls or aquatic centers)

Niche bars (indie dives, hipster bars, arcade bars, karaoke, craft breweries, cideries, wine bars, sometimes even gay bars)

Friend parties

Non friend parties

Join groups that meet regularly. Then give people a chance.

I made one friend recently at a group. I thought he was kind of a dweeb at first but after I got to know him he was really funny and sociable.

I'd say build a habit around it. Get used to leaving your house. Like whatever hobby you have, go to the gym, go to the gym, you like to skate, look for a skatepark...whatever. You gonna eventually meet people who like the same thing so you already have something in common and something that you all can talk about. Then you can invite them somewhere or just casually hang out with them doing something together and then congarst you made friends. It's not that hard you just have to force yourself a lil bit from the start and overtime everything gonna be easier

It is still simple. Just don't lock yourself up at home. Belonging to a social cirlce reduces your freedom - enjoy it, while you have it and do the things you always wanted to do. Be around people, get to know as many different groups as possilbe. Something will stick in the end.

Get housemates

Go somewhere regularly

Best way is like others have said, find something you enjoy and find a group that does that activity and go regularly. The best way to find a core group of friends is to make a regular HABIT of meeting up. That's why in school most of us had that core group. Good luck!
