What did reality do to meetup?

  People stopped going to in-person events.

    I visited more events post-covid than pre-covid.

      There's a group of people who were eager for events once the pandemic "ended", but that group is much smaller than those who used to regularly go to events and stopped. Companies like Meetup need scale to be successful.

  As a data point, I used to organize a Meetup in the very city Bending Spoons is based at. The last meetup was right before the covid pandemic hit. We never had a new one. We keep using our Telegram channel to exchange news and experiences.

    many places are bouncing back. give it some time. and do promote the idea. likely the problem is that the pre-covid organizers have moved on, so it takes a new generation of volunteers to organize something.
