Network map

[slrslr]

I have been unable to find any map of the Reticulum network.
I wanted to see if there is any nearby network that I may join to help building more decentralized network.

i"m new to reticulum so i'll answer as best i can. as far as i know there is not a single complete network to map. there may be several private networks that we have no way of knowing about unless they advertise somehow. there are a few public test networks that are online. amsterdam.connect.reticulum network on port 4965. dublin.connect.reticulum.network on port 4965. reticulum.betweentheborders.com on port 4242. i have quite a few test instances on these that i'd love to chat over and help build the network.

What @michael23505 said is absolutely correct, though I will add that a map of LoRa nodes connected to the main testnet, made up of user contributions, is a possibility down the line, and something that a lot of people want.

It’s worth noting that the specific servers Michael mentioned are actually interconnected, forming a complete single network (that we call the testnet) along with a ton of other TCP nodes (plus a few LoRa and I2P connected nodes for good measure), though more private networks that are separate do still exist.

Just dropping in to say I'd be interested. I'm seeing fewer nodes online in my area (currently using meshtastic) and I'm wondering if users are exploring alternatives. Or...get my own started in the area and see if others can be enticed over....

I think a map would help raise the visibility of Reticulum. A visible, healthy "public" network should also get the attention of EMCOMM and prepper folks.
