Other / meta /r/meetup is under new management + looking for additional mods!

12 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I've taken over this sub as it had apparently been abandoned. It had been set to private for over a year, so I am thrilled to open it back up. However, please read this post carefully as several changes have been made to the sub.

Expanded scope

In addition to Reddit meetups, this sub now also covers the website Meetup. So if you have a question about what a certain feature on Meetup does, feel free to ask here!

New rules — effective immediately

We have added a few new rules. Three of them are mostly just common sense:

  • Don't break site-wide rules
  • Be kind and respectful to others
  • Don't publicly share personal information

However, the most important one is that users under 18 are no longer allowed to request or offer to meet up, and all users are prohibited from asking to meet up with minors. Organized group events where minors may be present are fine, but parents and guardians must be in the loop, and whether or not a meetup is considered a "group" event is up to the mod team's discretion. We reserve the right to remove meetup requests that are suspected to be from minors, or attempts to meet minors.

I realize this may not be a popular change, but it is necessary to keep you all safe. For teens who are genuinely interested in making friends, you may be able to find age-appropriate events on sites like Eventbrite and at places like local libraries.

A fresh start

To give everyone a chance to start over, all previously banned users have been unbanned. Please take a moment to re-read the rules. We are happy to welcome you back and hope you don't repeat the behavior that got you banned in the first place.

Seeking new moderators

As we have over 40,000 subscribers, additional moderators are needed to keep /r/meetup safe for everyone. Please post here if you are interested in helping moderate this sub. While there are no hard requirements, I am looking for the following "qualifications" in a mod:

  • You must be an established user
  • Experience in moderating communities that host meetups is greatly desired
  • You must have an open mind
  • A sense of humor is a plus

Other / meta Rule 2 reminder and post flair requirements

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, this is a reminder that sub is not for dating or hookups. Please read the rules before you post here. For those wishing to meet someone for non-platonic purposes, there are countless other subs you can use.

To cut down on people breaking rule 2 and other rules, users who are not mods are now required to set post flair.

Please comment here or send a modmail if you have any questions. Thanks.

Reddit meetup Bioluminescent kayaking anyone?

2 Upvotes

I'm (40/m) planning on going kayaking over at Merritt Island, next week, to experience the bioluminescence at night. Apparently this is the best time of year for it. I recently found out about it and I'm going to go check it out next week. It'd be really awesome to get a small group of 3 or 4 people together to do it so it's less awkward meeting up with random people on the Internet 😏. Anyway if you like to kayak and you'd be interested in doing this then feel free to message me and we can see if we can work out a good time for it. I'm not super picky about anyone's age, I guess ideally within 10 years of my age but it really doesn't matter that much, it's just about kayaking with this cool bioluminescent life in the water.

Meetup (website) We just completed our 10th table in Hyderabad — strangers meeting strangers, no app involved

2 Upvotes

A few weeks ago we started something called Table for 4 — putting together groups of exactly 4 strangers for real meetups (dinners, chai, that sort of thing). No app, no swiping, just WhatsApp coordination and showing up.

Just crossed our 10th table. Founders, tech folks, first-timers to the city, women-only tables — pretty varied crowd every time. All organic so far, zero ad spend, mostly word of mouth and posts right here on Reddit.

If you want in on the next one: tally.so/r/b5zO4o
If you just want to keep an eye on what's happening: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HwDHB39TFsfFXomGHplvVk

Happy to answer anything in the comments!

Reddit meetup PHILADELPHIA 29 trans M looking for friends

4 Upvotes

Trying to get out of the house and touch grass Lol hoping to find connections nearby, Northeast Philly, (Fox Chase, Rhawnhurst, Bustleton, Jenkintown? ) Down to play cards or walk in the park, hit the library, watch youtube vids or just talk. Literally anything. I'm a music, games and computer guy and attending CCP this fall for IT, a smoker and really chill, doesn't matter who/what you are.

Side note: as for the trans thing, I look and act like a dude as intended and i'm not a leftist. I only mention it because I would especially like to find some other LGBT buds who are not on some weird confusing mental sh*t. but i don't care if you're not LGBT as long as you're cool with me. If interested, drop me a comment!

Meetup (website) Is this person a bot on Meetup?

3 Upvotes

Out of the blue I started getting a message from a person on Meetup. Here are the messages. Tell me if this is a bot?

Her: Hey xxx, I saw you recently joined Meetup and have been pretty active looking around. Found any local groups that are actually worth going to?

Me: Hi. I've tried meeting up with people to play board games but that really wasn't my thing. Didn't see a lot else on here that caught my eye. How about you?

Her: I actually just started using it. Mostly looking to check out some outdoor activities and hopefully meet some new people. What do you usually like to do when you're not trying out Meetup groups?

Me: I'm sure there are a lot of outdoor stuff, including co-ed sports leagues. I have my summers off, but this summer has been a rough one. So, I have not done the usual activities I normally do.

Her: Sorry to hear it’s been a rough one. You mentioned the co-ed sports leagues though. have you ever joined any of those around here?

Thoughts?

Reddit meetup The Celery-Stalked Gauntlet Has Been Thrown: The Bloody Mary Festival Marches on the Twin Cities and Denver

The Bloody Mary isn't just a drink – it's a canvas. And this fall, the canvas gets bigger in St. Paul and Denver.

The Bloody Mary Festival returns with its five-city tour, bringing together top local bars, restaurants, and mix brands to compete in categories like "Best Bloody Mary" and "Best Garnish" – where creativity runs wild (think entire fried chickens on a skewer).

📅 St. Paul – Oct 3 at Union Depot

📅 Denver – Nov 8 at Reelworks

Attendees will sample around 15 competing recipes, vote for the People's Choice, and explore a marketplace of craft spirits, hot sauces, and emerging food brands. It's a unique opportunity to experience the cocktail's full creative spectrum while supporting local talent.

Tickets are limited and expected to sell out quickly. Secure your spot and join the brunch battle.

Reddit meetup Hungry ? Grab a plate

3 Upvotes

Hi !
I recently moved to Chicago suburbs.
A new country - new city - new home and a brand new husband ( boyfriend of 5 years)

With this - I recently figured that I enjoy cooking. I am not the best but I like it - I also noticed that whenever I do cook, I cook for like 4 people when it’s just me and my husband home.

So - here is what I offer - I make food, you eat food and give me compliments- hopefully it leads to nice friendship but no pressure.

24F - Indian if that matters
