I've not really looked into that or explicitly listed myself.

Other than playing with LoRa directly on a Pi to see if it could be used to transfer FTN packets (it can, but slowly), I've only played with Meshtastic.

I've seen people refer to Meshtastic as "walkie-textie" instead of the "walkie talkie" that people used in the 80s & 90s.  LoRa itself is pretty versatile and can be used for a lot, but I've really only dipped my toe in with the occasional text message with a fly-by stranger.
