I opened an account at Soundcloud, I didn't have any of my own music at first, I was just reposting other things I liked. I eventually started uploading my own music to Soundcloud. I commented on other peoples' music and they commented on mine. In a couple of cases the comments turned into a dialog and then we friended each other on Facebook. And there I was, with music producer friends.
Every time one of them uploaded something new I listened and tried to make thoughtful comments. I think they did the same for me. I collaborated with one friend I made there; I remixed a song he had composed. It wasn't much, but he liked it and so did I.
One person I met this way became quite a good friend. They are a very talented musician and artist and I have really benefitted from knowing them.
I know there are probably other ways, but this is a way that I found some other musicians to be friends with.

One of the best ways to meet new musicians and producers is through general conversation online, but one of the best ways I have found is through small communities on messaging apps such as Discord communities based around music. These usually consist of either newer artists wanting to share their music or collaborate with others, or veterans/intermediates giving tips to newer musicians.
Another app I have come to find use in is Vampr, which is a swiping app where you can scroll through people looking for different types of collaborations or offering/buying services in the music industry. I made some good friends from this one since it can either be a social app or a work-orientated app.
A more difficult but rewarding way is to just start up conversations with people you meet throughout the internet who are also interested or doing music. These people you can find all across the web including: Tik Tok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and more.
I suggest also researching some other apps you may search scrolling the internet but these are some of the best I have come across.
