Maeve is a chill local group of parents that formed out of the shitty way "Moms Club" handled the pandemic (also they excluded Dad's and Maeve does not give a shot if you're a mom or dad or whatever). Maeve has meetups and events every so often and I would recommend them as a parent networking thing.
My wife has a few friends that she met using peanut which is like tinder but for parents who are looking for friends. Yymv, but we are pretty tight still with a couple of them.
Yeah, it's cool and remember that you have time to find other parents with kids around the same ages. They come out pretty damn boring and don't actually want to do stuff for a good while. The "fourth trimester" is definitely a thing.
I'm a dad (youngest is 2yo) and recommend finding some people with kids they same age because different phases really have different schedules, needs, and play differently.
