Has anyone ever joined one of those Meetup.com groups?

Thought it looked interesting. Not looking for dates but more groups to do activities with like hiking or biking. Browsed thru and saw a whole bunch of groups. So many members that belong to so many groups. Wonder if most are defunct or fake. Any experiences?

These types of groups just by different names have been around for many years. Im guessing the pandemic has neutered some of these groups but with things starting possibly opening up more with the warmer months coming it may pick up. Ive joined various groups like this moving to new cities before. Very hit or miss. Some can be very cliquish. Some always have the way over zealous attention seekers. Can be like school all over with adults. Ive enjoyed some of the activities and even meet some nice people.
