Probably a bad idea. I remember the Reddit meetup debacles. But on the other hand, an old forum I moderated did it with great success. On the other other hand, I realize it flies in the face of privacy, being insular, etc…

I can’t see it being a positive experience and not just because I’m a hermit.
I also enjoyed some forum meetups but that worked because the community was formed around a very specific shared interest and everyone knew each other. While this would work for communities of Lemmy, I would never want to meet a group of social network users because some like posting dick picks, some believe in God, some don’t believe in God, some like to smoke pot, some like pictures of cats, some like Communism, some hate Communism, some believe they are an animal, some like Star Trek.
Being in a room with a interest makeup like that would feel like drinking tea in the fourth ring of Hell to me.
