What’s a good way to make friends as an adult?

if you mean what's a good platform for finding friends, then going to a place repeatability where others are there as well. so classes/hobbies/clubs , work, volunteering with other people, gym. the point is that you are there, you start recognizing people and they you, and eventually one person will strike a conversation with the other person. even if its "have you seen the renovations down the road? got me stuck in traffic yesterday" etc.

how do you actually make friends? have the ability to talk with people. it's made of 3 parts: first part is to have something to say. if you have hobbies or training in a subject or anything that you can talk about comfortably with people that is not too niche (you need a few, if its just one then people you think you are a X's nut/enthusiast). second is to be interested in what the others say. so even if you don't know much about what they are talking about, be happy to learn and inquire about it. if you do know, then listen to their point of view. third is how you talk, each person has their own jargon and ways of expression. so if you know how to match their pace, do so confidently and have a bit of humor then you are golden.

even with all of that, sometimes it just won't stick. but you need to be active, but not annoying and sticky.
