New to OSR?
Here are three widely tested systems which offer free PDF rulebooks.
Basic Fantasy Created to be compatible with 3/3.5e, this is fully fleshed out OSE goodness written to be more approachable. Uses ascending armor class. Print options are sold at near cost and are very very inexpensive.
Old School Essentials Basic OSE is the most popular reproduction of the original B/X set. Uses descending armor class. With several different iterations at several different prices, this PDF is free and covers the basics. Enough to get a game going.
White Box : Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game A spiritual successor to Swords & Sorcery White Box. This is the complete OSR experience. Uses descending armor class, but contains alternate status for ascending. Like Basic Fantasy, the print version is under five bucks on amazon.

I ran a game online for a few months, and my most successful way to recruit by far was OSR Discord servers. I think this is the one I had the best luck in: https://discord.gg/6vqF25E
There's another for Necrotic Gnome's games, OSE and Dolmenwood, that you can find here: https://discord.gg/necrotic-gnome-fan-community-589023021856063497
There's one more OSR Discord I know of, and I don't know that they have a public LFG section, but there are some games run on the server that people seem able to join. If you'd rather run one, maybe they'd be open to you running something there. I'm not familiar with this one, so you'll have to check it out yourself. https://discord.gg/B6wU8TPTEa
