My answer is pretty dependent on your current fandom, but here are a couple suggestions: - read, bookmark, comment on fics you enjoy! - participate in exchanges and challenges that have their own discord server or dreamwidth comm created for the event - in this case, you're not entering a pre-existing social setting, and you are united in camaraderie for a specific, time-limited outcome. - run your own event hosted on a platform of your choosing! DW is better than Pillowfort. Be aware that this might require promo accounts on social media sites, but you could find a co-mod to run them; it doesn't mean you need to be active as yourself. - the easiest one is always, uh, find a friend who knows lots of people. I am a person who runs events and knows lots of people, so if it's one of my fandoms I can usually point others the right way.
These are pretty generic suggestions, although if you have specific fandoms or specific goals for "getting to know more of fandom," I could come up with additional ones.
