What are some activities which are free or inexpensive that I can do to entertain myself / keep good mental health while searching for a better paid job? (sh.itjust.works)

I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

It's not well paid but it's quite nice to make that extra money.

Socially, could you find a nice progressive church? I know a lot of people don't like religion but I've met my best friends there and we're all extremely close, and it's not homophobic or transphobic or anything like that. It's good to meet people who you know are going to be lovely.

I don't have any bad will towards churches and think there are members which really help the local community in many ways.

But I never grew up with any religion, so it would be weird for me to join and participate in such a community.
