@CharlotteEowyn @hosford42 agreed. It doesn't have to be complicated, just some sort of gathering space for finding local fedi folks, they can find their niche peeps, or organize simple or larger meetups for there.
Technology to enable humans to do their best humaning, it doesn't need to do all the things humans can do on their own if they've got the tools they need.

I was thinking the easiest iteration to start with might be a platform to host local forums or chat rooms (I'm not good with the right lingo).
Log in with your fedi credentials (for privacy), join your fedi local (eg for me it would be Guelph) and just have a chat stream to connect w fedizens in your hood.
Sharing freecycle stuff, start a walking club, organize in person meetups (we used to call them tweetups, I propose #tootenanny).

@[email protected] Oooo and maybe a reach or maybe not the time. I wonder about some sort of database matchmaker thing to help spoonies find local connections. For roommates, friendship, peer support Hrm anybody really, could be used as a digital platform to help build meatspace connections from the fedi-sphere. It's hard for any adults to make new friends - especially hard for men, autistics, disabled... All the social outliers who find a home on fedi. Help us find meatspace fedi friends.
