Finding groups is hard to resolve, but I'd recommend going back to the people you were playing with before and see if they are open to new systems, or checking game stores in your area (if there are any) to see if there are people who might want to play with non-D&D settings. (This has the advantage of filtering out a ton of the tourists who think it is just D&D - if they can't get beyond that, then they were probably worth losing but if they are willing to give other systems a try there's a good chance they are worth playing with).

As for other systems, it depends on what type of setting you want. If you have more specifics about that, might be able to recommend some systems but on a general note I'd say anything that has the potential for more of a horror vibe tends to be avoided by explicitly woke companies, and a lot of the woke players will tend to want to avoid them either (even if the more horror-focused elements aren't used).
