I think pypy is a great way to enter and I can think of a few newfags who have integrated pretty well due to it. It's a social activity but not too social, you can dance quietly if you want or you can interact with people if you want to do that. 
It also has a fairly good spread of people you can meet. I'd say the pypy population is pretty diverse and you can meet people from various groups there. It's a good starting point. 

The only thing that's really scary about it is the dancing in front of other people part. That's kinda intimidating. Just remember that everyone just sees your avatar and not you. I'm a terrible dancer too but it's cute because my avatar is cute.
