I do not mean this as a rhetorical question: I mean it literally. Tell us what’s stopping you! I don’t want to invalidate you, but the opposite. I’m sure people here would love to help if it’s possible. Post away!

Personally, I think Covid and the general amount of work everyone does are the two biggest obstacles to community building. Not just for me, but everybody I know. It’s nearly impossible to build a community when nobody has the energy to even play a video game together, and actually meeting up in person can literally kill you. There are definitely solutions, but we need to realize them as problems first to find them. If you have suggestions, please share them! Same goes for the issues everyone else shares (if they’re ok with help, of course).

Since you are trying to leave, don't work too hard on organizing. Definitely show up, meet people, but it's worth saving your energy until that move is over.

yeah tbh this is sort of the conclusion I've come to. It's tough though since I've been here for much longer than I meant to. It's pretty much been permanent the last few years, except it's hard for me to think of it as permanent since I'm still trying to leave. Hopefully I'll finally be moving out soon thanks to recent changes that have allowed me more stability.
