I feel very grateful for having had the opportunity during covid to work remotely for American companies. My salary suddenly skyrocketed 5x, the job was interesting and I had a lot of autonomy. But increasingly I am feeling like I miss the routine of going to work, meeting people and working together. I don't know what to do now, though, since I will have to sacrifice a lot of income if I want to find a hybrid or in-office job.

Try working from co-working space if you have something like that nearby, or working from a coffee shop, etc. Or look for any meetups for other remote workers in your area and if there isn't one, considering starting one, chances are there might be others in the same situation around you.

Use the 2h daily commute you're saying to join a club.

I tried meetups and, while the events are sometimes entertaining, they are too sparse. There isn't the element of seeing a person constantly and the times I tried reaching someone to get to know them better they usually are too busy yada yada. God, I miss meeting tech people and discussing nerdy things.
