If you are writing as a hobby you should not write for an audience but for your own entertainment. But of course you can also seek out audience groups for your writing. I am for example interested in WW2 politics and found a group for it on Facebook (sadly, even with strict internal moderation the group got removed).
And I self write a lot of fantasy stuff (therapeutic) and my bestfriend read a few and really liked it. She does D&D and showed some to her D&D group and now sometimes I write stories for them. For me it was coincidental finding an "audience" perhaps the same can happen for you. But if not you can look for them on social media seeing there is pretty much a field of interest for everything on social media...but be warned...there will always be critics on places like that.
Because if you write things you don't like but other do it will eventually feel like a job and you might develop resentment towards your hobby.
