I’m curious about them, was looking at meshtastic, but then one of the articles mentioned limitations that one of the other two fixed, but unsure what can run which, why you would choose one over the other, or why there’s 3 standards which further splinters the community and lessens what you can talk through.

    From what ive seen:

    • Meshtatic is fantastic at communications ad-hock.
    • Meshcore is fantastic if you have static infastructure to work with.
    • reticulum is using the same tech but for a different purpose. more like traditional internet.

    All three have phone apps, can work on computers, and are in active development. Theres more Meshtastic nodes than anything else but all three can be used on the same devices.

    I would try meshtastic first if I was new. Theres a metric ton of nodes in a LOT of major cities. Hope that helps!

      In general Meshcore can reach further than Meshtastic. It really depends on what your local mesh is. I can reach people from several different states on Meshcore
