Has anybody considered running a Mobilizon server? (slrpnk.net)

I was shocked to see that there are no English-language Mobilizon servers. It seems like it may be an ideal secondary service for certain existing fediverse communities and was wondering if anybody here had considered it.

For those unaware, Mobilizon looks to fill the role of something like Facebook groups for the fediverse. I believe it is compatible with both Mastodon and Lemmy through the groups actor in the ActivityPub spec but provides additional functionality dealing with scheduled events and shared resources.

I ran it on my home server just to play with it. It's very nice, but the main problem is with adoption. I'm a metalhead and I attend a lot of concerts in my city and asked friends if they'd be interested in having this kind of server and ditch facebook and they ALL said no, "because it's not convenient" :-(

Well, Mobilizon is made by a French open source collective (Framasoft), so it's very popular in France, but also in Germany and other european countries.
