I just found out about it. Open Source messaging. It seems intriguing although I'm not sure I would have much to do with it. I honestly can't find too much information about it except for the website and a few YouTube videos. I was just curious if anyone has had experience with it.

I’ve got 6 radios running it! A couple use mqtt to push the messages off the mesh and onto the cloud where it’s a little more convenient to receive messages.

Overall I am using it to set up a little emergency comms for friends and family, but I hope to use it hiking/biking/backpacking as well.

Super active community on discord, and they have a subset of users on matrix as well.
