That shows people who have voluntarily put themselves on a map. Although it can be a serious underestimation, for example in my area, I'm the only one who lists myself on the map, but there are about 10 other nodes that don't Edit: Also, the number of nodes on MeshMap has pretty much doubled in six months since I started playing with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Nice, 0 within 25 kilometers of me lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago Remember, that map is volunteer and only shows nodes of a day or less.

There’s no public nodes in a 200+ km radius around me on that site someone linked, so something tells me I’ll have to do a lot of guerilla solar panel installation if I want to anonymously set up something. I’ve thought about it on and off over the past two years, more of a private network for family and friends than anything, for emergencies and so on. The real, big problem is that I could be accused of espionage and thrown into jail forever if I do this. So I don’t think I’ll see anyone putting any nodes up for the foreseeable future.
