But the limited range and low bandwidth makes it ineffective at a large scale.
It is good enough to usually work at a city wide level and between people within walkie talkie range. It’s only ever meant for resilient local comms, it is not meant to be a state or even county wide system even with mqtt
Meshcore seems to be overtaking Meshtastic in adoption recently, and it handles long-haul router placement and high traffic, high density nodes a good bit better for metro areas.
I haven’t either. My area is very small and barely has any meshtastic activity, but from asking the couple people on meshtastic public channel it doesn’t sound like there’s a single meshcore user in our area either.

Meshcore is usable, indoors, in my basement, which is a surprise. It’s much more active than Meshtastic in the Puget Sound area.
I’m in southern WV, recently switched to meshcore from meshtastic, it is about 200x more active here.
Must be lucky and have a very close router node
I’ve been meaning to try out meshcore, but haven’t gotten around to it. It does sound promising.
