I’ve found it’s very regional here in the UK - where I am in South Devon it’s Meshtastic everywhere but zero MeshCore. I spent the summer driving around the UK for work and took two radios with me.
Outside of Devon I saw very few Meshtastic nodes but almost 300 MeshCore repeaters…
My take on it so far is Meshtastic is better for ad-hoc local networks and MeshCore for infrastructure and message volumes… 🤷🏻

@not_a_label@toot.lgbt @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange It's a shame the two networks aren't interoperable and propagate each other's messages. There must be a reason, but I've only just picked up a device and I'm learning :-)

@not_a_label@toot.lgbt @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange After running mesh core for one night, it picked up a repeater a couple of villages over... Definitely much more prevalent in Lincolnshire.
