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.
