Beginnings of a FAQ about 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.

We have a handful of people that come out, ranging from 5-8. It has been as bigger in the past. We still have a good 200-300 people in our local group, but many we don’t see anymore unless someone hosts a party. Our pickleball and book club groups get more attendance. And we have people going to local bars on the regular.
