Isolation - Working from Home

I know a lot more people have been working form home during the virus, I have been working from home for the past 15 years.
It definitely has it's benefits:
- No commute
- Can complete other non - work tasks
- Control work environment
- Flexibility working schedule
However there have been a number of problems that I have found difficult to cope with isolation - no chance of making friends from work and being alone in the house for long periods
I have considered going back to work in an office, but the main benefits above are lost and I would very much like to keep them.
I wondered if anyone else has experienced this and what they might have done to combat this?

It definitely has is benefits working from home, but to help make friends you'll need to join a community or a club of some sort, maybe something to do with a hobby or passion of yours is a good place to start?1
