Agreed. Oddly enough, my Meshtastic contacts are much farther away than my farthest MeshCore contacts but MeshCore seems to be much livelier.
Comment on Does self hosting your own internet count?
CaptainPedantic@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI believe the only part of Meshcore that’s not FOSS is the official app, and there’s a FOSS alternative.
Personally, I’d use Meshcore. I tried MT for a month or so. I never saw a conversation, just a few scattered “test” messages. Meanwhile, on MC, I was away from my phone for 4 hours yesterday and came back to 250+ coherent messages in a conversation from all over the region (not to mention the hundreds of test messages).
MT is better in ad-hoc situations since clients can repeat messages.

Do it!
Here’s what it looks like around me: analyzer.letsmesh.net/channels?region=pnw
I’d check the map to see if there are repeaters around your area.
