im no socializing expert but hear me out;
if you go to school, have a job, you're in a program, then this will be easy. Start random conversations with the people in your classes/ work. Keep it short and simple at first, gauge if u wanna pursue a friendship w them. keep doing that, friendships take time, and find some middle ground u and this person can meet up outside of school/ work for. If this doesnt work, then pick a locally-owned grocery or shop you can visit and buy from frequently. talk to the person at the register/ the owner- u can make a friend at the shop and that's nice enough! personally im friends with my local convenience store owner, and he's good fun to run into. Best of luck, friend!

If you're in your city for school or work, it's easy to get into conversation with someone. The good old water cooler talk can lead to friendships. If you're more introverted all i can say is try to step out of your comfort zone. Even if it's hard, a small thing can have huge effects.
Maybe if you have a specific hobby, like a sport, you could join a club or workshop. You'll definitely meet like minded people every where.

if there is a simple method to making friends it is seeing the same people at the same place(s) week after week. in some phases of life this is easier; ex, freshman year of college dorm. in other phases of life it is more difficult.
regardless, you have interests. other people have those interests. find people with those interests, that are fun, and also have space in their life for new people. do the interest together at some sort of location. then, invite the various people you've met over for a dinner party. voila- friends.
this isn't always a quick process, and it will likely be often frustrating and disappointing. its worth it though. the internet can help facilitate with meeting similar people who are open to friends.
specific things that have worked for me: going out dancing/club scene, internet(reddit/twitter), friends of friends, seeing movies, having people over for dinner.
good luck!

a coffee shop, running club, pottery class, karaoke night etc.
Whatever thing ur into. Go to places where you can do that thing regularly.
Eventally and usually pretty organically you will begin to make friends with people. People who you probably have alot in common with because you already have a shared interest. Yay!
I moved to a new state about a year ago knowing no one. I joined an improv class and now I have a whole network of people that I never expected to know. From that network you'll meet other people and so and so on.
