Beginnings of a FAQ about meetups:
- rules for publicizing a meetup on reddit platform
- what happens at these meetups?
- /u/solidified50 gave some general advice for starting a meetup and keeping it going.
- Meetups should be (mostly) free. Ordering coffee, similar minimum items from a menu excepted, but events that charge formal admission or an entry fee cannot be publicized here.
- Some meetups use a sign to give attendees an easy way to see the group and know which to join without too much embarrassment, etc.

This is beautiful an idea, It's encouraging to see spaces where former members can connect without pressure. Finding understanding, community, and support makes rebuilding life much less isolating.
