I'll start. I have recently gotten into 3D printing, and, while incredibly frustrating sometimes, there's nothing more rewarding than getting a perfect print.

I realized a while ago that my true hobby is learning. I love learning new things such as:

  • Ukulele
  • Tin whistle
  • Juggling
  • Kendama
  • Unicycling
  • Ham radio (and morse code and electronics)
  • Esperanto
  • Fencing
  • Sailing
  • Krav Maga
  • Swing and Ballroom Dancing

I've learned bit of all of these, master of none though...

Mi ankaŭ lernas esperanton!

I've been at it for a bit over a year, casually chipping away at it on Duolingo. I have a feeling I'm probably in pretty much the same boat as you, there's no particular reason I'm learning it, just kind of seemed like something different to do.

And I dabble in a bit of ham radio, but I don't do much with it, and I'm curious if this has been your experience as well. I think the biggest problem with ham radio is other hams, because for a lot of them their biggest hobbies is ham radio so all they want to talk about is ham radio. Don't get me wrong, I think antennas are cool too, but surely they must have something else going on in their life worth chatting about.

Yes, other hams are the number one problem with ham radio. I was really into it for a long time and met some really good people in the community but when I moved across country it really fell to the wayside.
