@sarae I think fav's are an important part of how Masto works. They can mean loads of things.
I both liked and boosted your post because I want other people to see it and I want to reinforce the fact to you that I did that because I fully support it.
My favourite kinds of Fav are the ones the ones that are summed up with the Welsh word cwtch. A whole range of supportive warm feelings being sent the posters way as appropriate 
@juergen_hubert @KatyElphinstone personally I really enjoy working with Germans for this reason.
"Good Morning, I have a problem"
"Good Morning, let me help you with your problem"
It seems they got the software update missing in most people. The perfect amount of small talk for most situations.
@james I'm on the east side of Wolverhampton (in a pretty dead spot for VHF comms) and tempted to flash a few devices with up to date firmware and give it another go. From Sedgley Beacon with a yagi I got 63 miles a couple of springs back and used to see plenty of nodes when driving with Meshtastic turned on on a tiny homemade j-pole.
Where are you based and what software/frequency are you on that it's completely dead?
@_elena I've noticed a load of people using Meshtastic and Meshcore on the Fediverse since my return. I haven't done any Lora stuff in a while (got multiple Heltecs and others plus a bunch of antennas). I might have to give it another go one of the days and see how busy the local scene is now.
