You can use Reticulum with lofi/mesh, so thought people might be interested.

    Its pretty cool, i just wish it was kinda popular and used more as base for a larger project. For the new people. Reticulum is a network stack that is meant to work off grid. And can use many interfaces one of which is LoRa

      Nice! Agreed.

      I remember it taking a full day and many back and forth’s getting it to work. I wish it was easier to work with honestly.

      How did the Lora work for you?

        not really that great. meshtastic has been more fun, not in a term of everything works. But in more of the sense of getting almost weekly messages from fellow mesh enjoyers on planes :P. transmitting kinda suck where i live because of the hills and the trees, I think i got like a message about a mile down the road from my house.

        Its very promising, but i think its more limited by LoRa, because the bandwidth is so low especially for anything larger than a text message.

          That’s been my experience as well (except the plane bit,that sounds like fun!)
