For any range of topics, lighthearted to serious, hobbies and games to helping and engaging with community matters. Regarding reach, I mean what ways may be used alongside word of mouth, as I honestly don’t hear people talk about groups they’re in (besides sports/bands) all that much.

In many jurisdiction, it’s not that complicated to create a small non profit club to collect money to rent a space which is often sufficient to attract people
I think posters/flyers are one of the most powerful ways to reach people in a local area, you’ve got to be in the local area to see them, right?
Another way to spread the word can be via the internet, Facebook is god awful, but a lot of communities will have something akin to a noticeboard that is another effective way to get the word out.

found the college rpg group by seeing someone reading a source book in the common area of the student union.
offline groups will be monitored, it will take the state, or state friendly associates, manpower to provide that level of surveillance, but as we saw in the soviet union, when there’s no hope, and nothing else to strive for, watching your neighbor becomes entertainment and employment. i’m not saying do nothing and stay home in the dark, i’m just saying be very aware of the universe we are all going to find ourselves living in a year from now.
