Virtually nearly every night I see a friend or two, sometimes I'll go a week or so without doing this. On the weekends, I virtually see 2-5 of my friends probably 2 a month for the bigger group and 6 or so times for the smaller group (so 6 total gatherings, 2 of which a larger group shows up). Every other weekend I meet in person with a group of 4-5 nearly religiously, to play TTRPGs. Probably once a month I hangout on a Friday with friends from work at like a pub or a beer garden or a pizza place. Once a month (sometimes more) I'll meet with friends on the week days for dinner or a movie.
All things considered I feel pretty fortunate to have very virtual hobbies so I can meet with people about as much as I want nearly whenever I want to. Still working on getting more friends in my time zone that play the same games as me (I'm a recent immigrant to Germany, most of my gamer friends are still in the US, arc raiders is coming up feel free to PM me if you're in the EU timezones lol). I'm also fortunate to have made a lot of quick friends at local nerd/queer spaces and am an eternal GM when RPGs are in their golden era. It was/is not hard to find a table of people interested if you fish for a bit in my experience. Honestly I'd like to be doing more in person stuff but my flat isnt fully ready for hosting but when that happens I'll be adding a monthly board game night and a seasonal party to the mix!
Hope this helps, for what it's worth.
