I'm from Baltimore, MD. We have a Baltimore meetup coming up Jan 3 and a Washington DC meetup this Sun Dec 13. So why do the two meetups listed in my "Nearest Meetups" sidebar include only a meetup in San Antonio for Dec 13 and a meetup in Durham NC for Sep 17 2026 (!)?
Whoever is running the meetup needs to make Meetup Posts for each meeting before they show up on the sidebar. IIRC regular meetups are often not posted there if the creator forgets about it. You can ask the person who runs the meetups to post them on LW more often or ask them if you can post them in their stead.
I run the San Antonio meetup and you are very welcome to attend here if it's the nearest one to you!
Not sure what you mean by this. I actually posted the meeting for the Baltimore area myself.
The Baltimore and Washington DC meetups do show up if I click on "Nearest Meetups", just that they appear in the 5th and 8th spots. That list appears to be sorted first by date and then alphabetically. The San Antonio meetup appears at the #4 slot, and the Durham meetup does not appear at all.
Basically the "nearest" part of nearest meetups seems to be completely broken.
For it at the moment it shows:
It doesn't show the Berlin Meetup which is the city where I live and which I have put into my LW profile.
Man, that Durham date sure disconfirms the idea that your meetup isn't soon enough :)
And hmm, just having one far-future meetup post is a clever way to just keep your meetup in the list permanently, like how meetup.com groups have permanent pages, with the actual meetup schedule being a part of that group page.
