I feel there is not enough community in the United States. Real people interacting with real people, trying to be authentic. Meetup is a good place to start.

The Dining Group of Raleigh
I always enjoy events with this group. Robin selects a variety of great restaurants, movies, and other fun activities. She makes everyone feel welcome and takes time to get to know each member and include them in conversations.
A new way of connecting people
Really impactful. If you are someone that just arrived to a new town. Meetup can help you connect with different people that share your same interests. I really recommend you give it a try.
Nature hike
Nature hike. Explored a new park in the great outdoors. Welcoming and very informative guide. Definitely Interested in more hikes. Enjoyed nature and the views.
An enjoyable evening with good people
A very nice group with a welcoming leader
I really enjoy the Manchester Swedish Learners Meetup Group (meets via Zoom so available in any location). Andy is a very welcoming and kind host who makes people feel welcome and at ease, regardless of whether they are real beginners, somewhat experienced, or much more experienced. The participants are all different ages, and from various countries, with new people coming along fairly often. If you are shy or very new to Swedish you can just listen in either the beginners or intermediate group.
From my biased perspective
My perspective is biased. For me, Meetup is not just a platform for meeting other people. It sometimes feels almost like a living being, attuned to one’s needs in the moment. Well, I always had a vivid imagination.
But the truth is, the people there are very friendly and open, and there is a lot to choose from. You’d be grateful for some company because you feel a little blue? There is a group playing social games to fill your evening. You want to move from your personal trainer — the couch in the living room — into the real world with a human coach? You find some sports events to choose from. You want to assure yourself that tomorrow you will still have something interesting to look forward to and real people to get to know? Check the events calendar.
I’m not saying Meetup is the answer to all problems, all your moods, or the biggest uncertainties of life (although you will probably find a meeting discussing those as well ;)). Maybe for me it is a good platform right now and in one year it won’t be anymore. Maybe some acquaintances will last years, maybe none. I don’t know. But I wanted to give myself and that vivid imagination of mine a chance to check it out.
And I’m really glad I did it.
Worst app
I used their free subscription and I cancelled 4 working days before the renewal date and they still charged me the subscription fee.
That is seriously unacceptable, and now they are not refunding my money.
Wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone.
This was a well run
This was a well run, very interesting session. Eddy is dynamic and very welcoming. The setting is perfect, as is the size of the crowd. I fully recommend it to anyone who is intellectually curious.
I learn new music at this event and meet nice folks.

A Wealth of Knots Knowledge
Bonnie was very professional and patient. She was very well prepared and I could tell it was important to her that the class could translate the new knot knowledge into practical use. I learned alot that can be applied to my camping and hiking experiences. The class was really fun.
Intro to Backpacking
This was such a great event! Even as someone who had some previous knowledge of backpacking going in, I still learned some new things. It was also great getting to test out some of the gear that was provided. I’m glad we were able to walk with our packs too, so we could really get a feel for what it’ll be like when we’re ready to actually go backpacking. Definitely gave me the push I needed to get out there and go!
Absolutely fabulous night
Absolutely fabulous night. Thank you so much, Jon. Once again you have given so many of us a reason for loving Meetup. CC

Awful
Awful
End up on groups you never join and cant leave even after contacting moderators numerous times
Plus
It's waaaay to expensive
Have to Pay in order to meetup
Members now have to pay to see/use features that used to be free. I don't pay website owners to meetup. Online account is terminated.
First time is a charm.
Even though it was my first time attending this French meet up, I felt welcomed and included. I like the location and the room in the library was perfect. I look forward to going again.
Excellent opportunity to learn online…

They collect your email but never respond
So I marked my attendance for this event almost 2 weeks ago. And I registered additionally with my email address. And all I got was an email that says you will get a link. And I never got a link. And neither did they bother to respond when I asked the question online on meetup.
