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?

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.
