Where do people go to make new friends?
My wife and I just moved to a new city and she is very sad and depressed because she doesn’t know anyone here and never was good at making new friends.
She wants to make friends with other Asian women her age (late 20s / early 30s), but doesn’t know how to go about it.
Is there any online communities for making friends for normies? She likes shopping and Korean dramas.
I’m not much of a help as I simply don’t have any friends and don’t need any (I work at a help desk so I don’t want to interact with people after I get out of work).

Hmm I would recommend you go out with her during a shopping session or something and maybe if you bump into another Asian person or two, strike up a convo and guide her into it! And help her practice socialising skills so she can build some confidence. It'll add a nice bit of extra things to do together as a couple too, watching her build that confidence up and going through it together sounds like fun. Good luck ~

We are both too autistic to strike up conversations randomly. I’m hoping to find a web resource.

Ohh hmm, in that case Facebook groups could be a good start?
neighbors are usually an easier plug for new friends. facebook groups for your area/neighborhood also are popular and some big cities will have special interest groups too. there are a couple apps out there too that work like dating apps but for friendships. can't testify for them but it's an option if your wife doesn't get out much. joining a club or hobby might be useful too and she could meet new friends at class(painting, yoga, etc.)
She could try signing up for some community volunteer work or joining some local organizations. Taking up classes for something she's interested in is also a good way to meet new people, connect with the community and bring some fun into her life:)
