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?

    Maybe ask around and request to put up posters in a local library?

    Also, see if your local university has a group already, and maybe if the age difference isn’t creepy, see if you can hang with them.

        You could do signup through a form and just throw a QR code on a poster.

        My university Linux Users Group usually uses Crytpad (which is FOSS and seems federated, and has a flagship instance) to create forms for votes, so that might do the trick for you.
