The world is huge, and there are a lot of deserted homesteads and even villages, you can try to figure where you are by comparing the name of villages you come across with www.havenmap.tk though, maybe you`re lucky.

You might want to Check the "Dwarves & Thieves" Forum, there are allways ppl who`re looking for new villagers, you can start a new char right at the village then.

You must be talking about the kin list...
Yes, there are other people playing whenever you are, but for it to stop saying 'You are alone in this world', you need to add a 'kin'.
A kin is bascially the name for a friend in this game. To add someone as a kin, memorize them first by right clicking their hearthling, close the kin list once it pops up and then you'll see an option to kin them after right clicking them again.

And as Gentley said, your best bet is to start off in an already established village. They'll teach you there.
