The documentation is a little lacking. What exactly is the range of each decide? I see the record of 100+ miles but can I easily connect people within a few miles?
What exactly does this do? Is it just a messaging app?

I've done my little stupid tests. I have 2 Heltec LoRa 32 V3s both with the stock antenna. Inside the city I can get 500m on LongFast and 700m on VeryLongSlow. The other node was placed inside a building on the 1st floor.
But that's obviously a terrible test.
Not sure if they’ve improved it but meshtastic also used to require a module per device/phone so sadly you can’t dot them around and allow multiple people to share them like with group events.
What up with everyone using the acronym LoRa. It is becoming confusing.
It stands for Long Range, so would otherwise have been LR.
We ran out of acronyms a long time ago.
tell us then, beside your waifu name "lora", what/which else is named after your waifu, that confuses you?
/s
Not sure why you decided to ask that person the question like that, but when it comes to AI, LoRA stands for Low-Rank Adaptation. They are used to fine-tune models. Next time be a bit more polite.
