What do you mean what happened? "Most are gone"? Do we live in different realities or just different places?
Every major European city I visit has its own, or multiple, nice hackerspaces. Often smaller cities as well. Most/many of them are coming out of the pandemic more enthusiastically than before.
Just the city I live in (Munich) has at least three community-oriented hackerspaces/makerspaces, and a bunch more 'open workshops' and commercial spots.
