> A monthly "Meet HN" post– for each area (per city might be too small?)

Per city would definitely be spam! There are 720 cities as we speak.

Or it could not be, but it would require locating them under a specific route like news.ycombinator.com/meet or something.

i was thinking rather the meet HN would summarize for all cities, or in the comments or whatever. or just link to a overview site on meet.hn. but anyway, as i said: just random thoughts that were the first ones to go through my mind. might help coming up with better ideas.

Suggest users to add an email on meet.hn so that you/host can send email for meetups? They can add an anon throw away email if they want. You may want to verify the hn profile though (hn doesn't have oauth so may be some string in hn profile - okay, it became complicated now).

I mean a way to allow direct communication on city/country level. But if you do Telegram then you are part of a big noise - because every body, their dogs, and their dog's granny have a telegram channel now - many of them too active.

Or - let city/country host/admins make post on city/country portal on meet.hn make announcements, posts to which users can subscribe to if they want (you bypass all the implementation in this manner)
