How do you all find active guilds? I’ve been trying to find a social guild for months and every one I join is just crickets 
. Either that or all communication is strictly in discord. Is /G just a relic of the past?

Check community interface in game for active communities doing current content on your server and join.

Check wowprogress for guild progress on your server.
It might depend on the server you are on as well. I have Alliance on Garona server and it seems very active with lots of mid range characters. I have no idea why there is a server disparity and some have only max level characters that are now dormant.
For the most part yes…why type when you can just talk…
Times change for better or worse you have to make that call

Wait for the start of a season.
sad but trueeeeeee
First tip is to never join any guild that just mass spams invites all the time, those tend to be the most dead/antisocial. My Advice is to check trade chat or look on your servers forums as often times guilds try to recruit there.

I have found my current guild and nearly all my friends while doing content. I was a huge chicken for pugging anything and joined one group after telling them I was inexperienced and the RL was willing to teach me if I was willing to learn……that was WoD.
Through this community group (not a guild) I met several people over the years that have become amazing friends and was ultimately invited to one of the guilds mid SL. It was a group that became a community that lead to a guild.
So basically, if you pug a raid or a dungeon and come across people that seem friendly then add to your friend list and ask if they want to do more content together. Overtime you get to know them and their friends and find who is compatible. I raided without a guild for many years, but I was part of a community. Some friends come and go but the ones that stick around, the ones that will suffer wipes and deaths to finish a Mythic higher than you’ve ever done, the ones that trade gear and switch specs to help the group….these are the people you hang with.
The right people for YOU may be challenging to find but well worth it.

Because I don’t like the sound of most people’s voice. The chewing, keyboard noise, background conversations, fans, vape rips, etc…

I got to talking to someone in Stormwind, and they invited me. I hadn’t played since BfA, and this was season three of SL and I was second guessing my choice to resub. Now I consider these people to be close friends of mine, and even outside of WoW we do stuff.
Sometimes the good guild just happens.
Get on vent

The in game voice system is cathartic compared to having to install old school apps and I like it very much, but I prefer typing , maybe for the challenge of expressing my emotions properly in text, I am not sure why exactly.
First stop should be here:
Start of a season is the absolute worst time to try and find a guild, but that’s a common misconception that people have.

Talk to people, make some friends, make a guild with them. Or join their guild. Be the change you want to see.
Yea, I have to deal with that at one of my side jobs too, absolutely no thank you please 
I also just mostly don’t enjoy the company of nerds, so /g chat is for sure for me until raid start where I put on a happy voice.

Guilds that exist purely for socializing will almost never achieve that goal. You either end up with crickets or green trade chat.
The trick to having a good social guild is to have a small to medium guild that actually does stuff together to build bonds, because they’ll actually want to talk to each other.
