I have been trying to join/create a circle as an adult. I asked some of my online friends but no interest so far.

It's interesting to me, as if you read Benjamin Franklins biography, he mentions creating a literary circle being super important. I suspect many of our important thoughts leaders through history created small social circles where they hyperfocused on their domain with friends in a more social way

Mailing lists (the N:N variety, not the modern 1:N abomination) were such, and for a few, still are.
