I can now see #meshcore devices up to 500+ km away.

@fribbledom Depends on the goals. As you can see, most nodes are close to my location (Munich, Germany) and communication here is quite reliable. That’s the intended purpose (at least for me). Local communication. That it also reaches that far out is a nice to have thing.
Reliability and scaling would be my highest priorities, but sadly the MeshCore protocol has several flaws in these regards.
I'm currently in the same region as you and successful packet delivery rates have been dropping steadily over the past months.
I think they're trying to mend things with "Region" settings, but that feels like a weird band-aid/workaround on top of a more fundamental protocol design issue.
