One of the things people like about the LDS church is community. Once you leave you need to find other groups to take place. I am an introvert and don't mind for some time being alone
My children find their friends in the activities they take the grandchildren to like football and lifesaving.
I have neighbors some of who I find connection with.
Where you find community after leaving

I have found connection with many online. It’s not a substitute for real in person connection, but it’s something.hauslern wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 8:08 pmCommunity and Belonging Post-Deconstruction - with Lindsay Hansen Park

All of the church friends that I had an in person connection with, couldn’t have cared less when they learned the recently temple married couple had divorced. The couple they had taught temple preparation class to. The couple that had taught their children after sacrament meeting. Either they didn’t care, or they were too ashamed and afraid of catching whatever spiritual disease we had contracted which caused us to fall off the perfect Mormon Covenant path..
So yes the LDS church may offer a community, but it is in many cases a superficial and a conditional one. Your mileage may vary.

Not being a dick, I’m genuinely confused - lifesaving?

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
