Hey! Welcome to the town, and the site
When it comes to tabletop, there's some gatherings around town at shops, and then the local crowds that already know each other, etc. So - it can be hard to find a response right away on here - a lot of them already know what's going on, etc.
...however - I've seen responses to just about every thread posted eventually; might check into Wizards Asylum and some of the other shops locally, just to see what they are doing as well in the mean time!
