What do you mean by "a specific reason"? Personally, I like meeting interesting new people for the sake of it.

Btw, your socials are not displayed on meet.hn because you modified the text you had to paste in your HN description. Just reporting, in case it wasn't expected. More info in the note here: https://news.ycombinator.com/

Yeah that's the case for some locations indeed. But next time you go on a trip, have a look at the map! You might be able to meet someone interesting there.

Thanks for the perspective! I think I have a communication problem with meet.hn. People seem to assume it has been created to setup these kinds of large meetups. In fact, I created it for small or even 1-1 meetups in the first place. Meetin

That's one kind of meetup indeed. But imho (large) group meetups are the least interesting/valuable. Ideally I would like to boost small or even 1-1 meetups first. If larger meetups emerge later, great!

The attribute wouldn't force you to accept a meeting in any way. It would just be used to display some kind of marker next to your posts on HN. Then, if readers feel you are interesting to them, they would check your HN profile and con

Sorry I misunderstood what you meant. Now there is a proper location search box with address suggestions and stuff.

You should be able to find your city now! If not, don't hesitate to share some details with me through meet.hn/feedback. Make sure to add some contact info so that I can answer.
