Meshtastic is so easy to kneecap. A couple of people deploy tracker nodes broadcasting GPS once a second, or someone thinks it is a bright idea to run a router node inside a house and a multi-city mesh becomes useless.
It does not scale well.
Hopefully MeshCore keeps good growth. Seems much more stable and reliable.
Meshcore has a default public channel, and usually several optional other public ones as well, depending on where you’re located. Usually there’s also some online community/forum for each country/region where people organise themselves.

Does one need a friend to make use of this, or is there a community? Like some kind of group chat or something? 😄
https://map.meshcore.io/
You can check your location there and see if any nodes are listed in your area for a starting point, what the others said too.
Nice…quite a few in my area by the looks of things!
There is probably more than what is shown. Not every posts theirs to the site and some don’t keep theirs on/charged always.

Great thanks!
I’d look up one for your area, Im in Puget mesh bc I’m in the Seattle area, so I’d just search up “mesh network in x region” and see what you get
