Meshtastic is a mesh network for radio communications or something. I’m curious to hear from people who’ve used it as to what their experience was like.

    Works pretty well in my area, though not so much wherever there’s a ridge and node to help propagate the network over it. There’s a few slivers of town without coverage, but there’s a very large, multistate group of enthusiasts expanding the infrastructure.

    Some have also left Meshtastic entirely, in favor of Meshcore. I might try it on my spare T Deck just to see. But Meshtastic is fun, especially if you enjoy the potential for tinkering with things. I had a blast going through the thread of putting MT on some Chatter2.0s, along with some mods to the boards. Now they’re like little mesh Nokias, ringtones and all!
