Hello,
I recently moved to Malmö and I want to hang out with people who are interested in synthesizers.
Are there communities/circles here that are centered around synthesizers?
I’m also open to just meeting up for a fika.

There are a lot of weirdos on the internet. You don’t want to let them near your synths without at least seeing them first.

But in all seriousness, I’m just trying to provide options that could be deemed acceptable.
Meeting a random stranger from the internet for the first time in a public place like a coffe house would seem acceptable. At least for me. That is what I meant with meeting for a fika.
Your post seems quite resonable. My guess is that Fin is not fluent in swedish and feels like fika sounds like something quite different than having a chat, while eating cake and having a cup of coffee/tea?
I dont know about Malmö but in copenhagen there are quite some events and stuff but i rarely find time to go. Consider looking to copenhagen if the train ride doesn’t bother you

You should definitely check out the record store bolero , the owner is a really good gear head. Say hi from me.
That could be. The word fika in Hungarian means boogers. (Chunks of snot in your nose)
Plot twist: You are the owner of the record store.
Pretty close but not so. I remember record store Rundgång (that’s the name right?). I bought a vinyl with LA underground rapper Neila whom I later came to produce for. Also picked up Portiahead 3 on vinyl in Malmö. And they have a cool graf wall by the parkeringshus Anna. And lots of good food.

Ahahahahahahaahah the collection is amazing He only has underground electronic music and He is making some events and knobs many producers around malmö 
What kind of events? Meetups?
Regardless, I will check out the record store. I live quite close to it.
He knobs many producers ?
This is just getting weird 
I ended up talking to the owner of the record store and to workers of a guitar store.
The verdict was that it is uncommon for strangers to meet up like this and it’s usually people doing their own things at home.
I still haven’t given up on playing music with other people but I’m out of ideas on how to get there.
I find it odd to hear this from a music store keeper. There’s always a notice board for people looking for band members where I live. Maybe you already tried that?
I do see listings for band members but it was never my intention to join a band. I’m looking for something casual.
I’m moving there in January 
Yeah, that’s quite Swedish maybe?
I guess I’m fika-open at least!

I get that. To clarify, you don’t have to phrase it like you’re looking for a band. If you have other intentions, just write whatever it is you’d like to do.
I will keep an eye out. I usually see these type of listings on vend.se
Do you have another suggestion?
I would suggest arranging something on meetup.com, try and spread the link and see what happens.
Also, look into music-schools (those that have classes in the evenings) - they might be the perfect way into networking - also those schools might even have a way to sponsor the space for a meetup.
Probably the biggest challenge in arranging these meetup is finding a space where people can bring their instrument, and hook it up to power and some speakers.
