The US instance of #Mobilizon doesn’t work very well. It really would be an ideal instance for someone in the US trying to organize a local meetup but, alas, if something doesn’t work then you can’t use it anyway.
Any recommendations for an alternative instance? I have no interest in self- or cloud-hosting an instance myself for a single group.
Side note: I know I look at the world through Fedi-tinted lenses, but how is a #Meetup alternative not the most popular Fedi-alternative to a big-tech platform already*?! Meetup charges money just to create a group with which you only make posts to organize people at events.
*yes, I know my current problem with Mobilizon.us doesn’t help this case.

I know I said I'd like to stop updating the Bookface Userstyles but I went ahead and did it anyway. In part because I've needed to start using them again myself over at Friendica.World, which switched to the Release Candidate and the Bookface schemes get overwritten every time the server is updated or something.
Anyway, I started by adding all the Bookface 1.8.5 server-side changes to the Userstyles for Friendica Stable:
DOWNLOAD: Userstyles for Friendica Stable
And then did the same for the upcoming version:
