Points 3) and 4) are good if you are looking for generally interesting stuff, but don't help much when searching for specific topics as I described. 2) and 5) would probably be an interesting project but way too much effort for just searching something to read myself. 1) is probably good advice but doesn't solve the problem of initially finding something to read.

    I am sure there are many groups researching the mathematical
    properties of structures found in (living) nature (think patterns
    in fungi growth, selfoptimization of bone structure for weight and
    stability, paths in ant colonies or anything else in that
    fashion), but I just can't find any current projects in this
    field.
There is a yt channel for the Washington Philosophy Society. They have interesting talks by invited guests. You could then drill down into their published works.

Research papers are scored. The best get recognized by something like asters. You could look that way.
