We moved to Fernandina in December. I think that we were the 3rd or 4th family on our street. We made it a point to say hello to everyone when they moved in. Some clearly want their privacy and I respect that. Some folks will come talk in the middle of the street. It is the same mix of folks that I remember from most of the (many) places that I lived over the years.
Best way to make friends is to join (or at least visit) some clubs. Look in the rec news - there are clubs for almost everything. In Fernandina, Fernandina & Friends has at least a couple social events going on each month. There's a Thur am shuffleboard "beginner's league" where you can meet folks who moved in about the same time as you and are probably no better at shuffleboard than you. But it is a nice social activity where you will meet some very nice people.
