EDIT: Let's go ahead and have a Philly HN Meetup Discord: https://discord.gg/jFeJUsJ

There are plenty of /r/philadelphia reddit meetups, and there's a decent number of tech people there (the ratio was higher when reddit was young and mostly tech articles, but the meetups weren't very good). There's also the Philly Linux User Group, which has meetings in multiple parts of the city: phillylinux.org

I'd be up for an occasional HN Philly Meetup though! And if HN folks wanted to invade a reddit meetup I'd be down for it.

I appreciate the information, thanks! Maybe we'll get enough Philly people here responding that we can slap something together.

I've been a longtime lurker on the /r/philadelphia sub and have thought many times about going to one of the meetups. I think I may need to stop by one of them.

There's a meetup at Cooperage in center city every Thursday. If you decide to go one day, shoot me a reddit message (same username) and I'll try to swing by.

As far as organizing, there's an /r/philadelphia discord, and we could probably persuade them to make a channel about HN meetups. Or Discord servers are easy enough to make yourself.

EDIT: I've just made a HN Philly Discord. Feel free to jump on to talk meetups. https://discord.gg/jFeJUsJ

Will do, thanks. I'm hoping I can find time to pop by Cooperage in the next month or so. I'll definitely shoot a message over when I do.

I'll check out the Discord server today.

Thanks!
