Starting a LUG? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking at starting a small local Linux Users Group (LUG).

What are good easy ways to get started?

Seems like meetup.com is kinda anti-foss.

Are there better alternatives?

It's not that bad. I live at the ass end of nowhere and there are still several people in my area, although they are probably not in my town exactly. I'd assume they would be in the nearest metro area, but I'm lonely enough to make the drive if I can find someone.

I mean are you talking people that would show up for an LUG, Federation users, or people that fall into both categories (Yeah I'm aware these 2 things do go together more than most, but still probably no more than 25% of either does both.

I've never thought of the probability that a Linux user is a fetizen. It's probably fairly high. I'm close to Nashville and there is a LUG there, but it's on Meetup, which I decided not to use due to tracker queries showing up in my domain blocker.
