Where or how can you meet other gay men? Grindr has tons of people but they all seem like flakes and no replies. Interested in dating rather than hookups but not opposed to an occasional hookup but wanted to see what other options might be out there.

How old are you?
Club Cafe is gay. Queereoke at the Midway is very queer but tends to be a lot of AFAB people. Both pretty young scenes. This Sunday in JP there's a meeting of the Cambridge Men's Group (https://www.meetup.com/cambridgemen/events/289639090/) presumably a bit of an older crowd. There are also a few "OUT at Time Out" events coming up, just search gay men's Boston on meetup and you'll find some stuff.
If you already have good hobbies for meetup groups (frisbee, dog groups, board games, etc) just go to the things you enjoy. Boston is a pretty gay place, usually there will be another gay guy in the group and depending on how good your 'dar is you can just chat them up.
Uninstall grindr. Try Hinge, tends to be a bit more relationship oriented. Bumble could also work. If you're kinky, might even want to give AFF/Fet a try.
