I’m now at a point where I can detect 152 nodes in my city. 25 are listed as “online.”
Yet the only contact I’ve gotten is the occasional “hello world” and once or twice a response to my own “hello world.”
It’s possible that nobody has anything to say, but I also suspect the network isn’t robust enough to maintain contact and facilitate a real conversation between random strangers.
Has anybody else here managed to actual chat with someone they don’t know?
What kind of messages do you get?
None in the LongFast channel at all, in either iOS or web apps - even when using MQTT. But if I used the mestastic-cli-receive-text* script I could see messages coming to the unit; presumably in a different channel or DMs that weren’t encrypted I suppose.
