In my case, most of my outside socializing was through gaming meetings, and:
- the local Gaming Society closed for 2 years (meeting for the first time after 2 years in November),
- the local game stores stopped doing in-person events for 2 years (still no news on Magic: the Gathering in-person pre-releases, not authorized for Latin America despite my country being basically covid-free),
- I started playing D&D (with coworkers, so the OP has a point), had one in-person session and then we moved to Roll20 (slowly coming back to in-person).
I do think people were socializing outside more before the pandemic.
