Are there any widely used mesh networking projects being used by people in apartments in cities? (lemmy.ml)

Considering the amount of tech and self hosting types that live in cities, it seems like it would be popular to have little mesh intranets all over the place, but I'm not aware of any.

I read about NYC Mesh a while back, and I wonder if there are other similar things already in widespread use that I just haven't heard about.

in Germany there is Freifunk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freifunk), based on gluon (https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon) which is based on openwrt.

Let's have a look at the Freifunk Map https://www.freifunk-karte.de/

    That is impressive!

    Zooming in, i can see villages where i know people. These are very small villages, and the system is in use.

    So I imagine it's friends, and family.

    And that's ok. A great way to start and build a momentum.

    Go Deutschland!
