 raboof | that's weird - https://chaos.social/@nixos_org/113952112038006234 seems to have gone through now, though? | 09:16:00 |

Interesting, though this is 1 data point. Which is why I'm thinking a trial thing would be a good way to see with 3 groups. For comparison, the Zurich group uses meetup primarily for attendance planning. Most visibility is derived from other means.
So to be clear, my underlying reasoning is: how can we help reduce friction and increase wellbeing for local groups? If the lack of a good, affordable online tool for coordination is a bottleneck, there may be multiple ways of addressing that. | 11:03:22 |
| raboof | I'd love an open/selfhostable platform to allow people to 'follow' groups and get notified when we plan a new one. I looked briefly at https://mobilizon.fr/ and found it a bit confusing, but perhaps I should have a second/closer look ;) | 11:46:45 |

 tomberek | raboof: I'm still having issues with the mastodon posting from Buffer. Any ideas? | 13:27:20 |
| raboof | pretty weird, indeed I see failed posts from 9 days ago and just now, but the post from 5 days ago seems to have made it just fine (https://chaos.social/@nixos_org/113952112038006234) | 13:30:00 |
| raboof | OK I think I figured it out (but you're not going to like it): it seems the buffer 'retry' functionality fails if the post was scheduled for the past. So I updated the scheduled date and then I could send the toots, https://chaos.social/@nixos_org/ 🎉 | 13:34:28 |
| tomberek | Nice! I guess that makes sense... thanks! | 13:35:09 |

 @idabzo:matrix.org | Eventbrite is quite cool unless you have to deal with a waiting list. Lu.ma seems small and relatively new. I also know about joinmobilizon.org (funded by NLnet and NGI-0), though it's not very popular. Sometimes, organizers use Facebook events for the same purpose.
I’m not sure if I can achieve anything in this regard, but I can try to find out if Meetup makes any effort to support non-profits—if you give me the green light. | 19:28:31 |
