Title. I know that this is a pretty niche question, but I figure there is probably a lot of overlap with people who are into the fediverse and people who are into mesh radio networks.

That’s cool. It’s good to hear there are some hidden nodes too.

Never saw any traffic on long-fast. Tried broadcasting a few tests but didn’t get any replies.

Have you managed to connect to anyone on the local network or is it mostly dead?

    Haven't seen a single message, nor got a reply.

    That said, I have only spent a couple of days messing with it so far.

    It's possible that there is a community on a channel other than the default long-fast. But I haven't experimented with that yet either.

    From my house (south perimeter area) I have only seen one other node. I have to do closer to downtown to see many more and that's still on the to-do list.

    That's surprising to me, because there is a local telegram group for meshtastic users in Manitoba and it seems to be reasonably active. Maybe you should pop in and ask them what's up. Here's the link if you're interested: https://t.me/MeshtManitoba
