Help & FAQ
Some answers to the questions we get most often. If yours isn't covered here, email meetupmk@protonmail.com and we'll get back to you.
Getting started
What is meetup.mk?
A free, community-maintained directory of mechanical keyboard meetups around the world. Browse what’s coming up on the home page, switch between grid, list, and map views, save the events you like with the ♥, and submit your own when you’re hosting one.
What counts as a mechanical keyboard meetup?
Any in-person gathering of keyboard enthusiasts — show-and-tell, vendor tables, raffles, group buys, or just a table full of boards to type on. A dozen people in a café and a thousand-person convention are equally welcome here.
How do saved meetups work?
Tap the ♥ on any meetup to save it, then use the saved filter in the sidebar to see your list. Everything is stored in your browser only (localStorage) — no account, no sign-in, and nothing leaves your device. Clearing your browser data also clears the list.
Submitting a meetup
Who can submit a meetup, and is there a review process?
Anyone can submit through add a meetup. The meetup.mk team reviews every entry for accuracy and relevance before it goes live — usually within 24–48 hours.
I submitted a meetup but don’t see it on the site.
It’s most likely still in the review queue, which takes 24–48 hours. If it’s been longer than that, email meetupmk@protonmail.com and we’ll look into it.
The submission form won’t go through. What should I do?
Make sure every required field is filled in and any image is under 1 MB. Images are optional — leave it blank and we’ll use a placeholder. Still stuck? Email meetupmk@protonmail.com or ping us on Discord and we’ll help you troubleshoot.
Can I edit or delete a meetup after submitting?
Not from the site yet. Email meetupmk@protonmail.com with the meetup name and the change you need, and we’ll take care of it.
Can I add a recurring meetup?
Each listing represents a single event for now. If your meetup recurs, please submit each date as it gets scheduled.
Discovery & site features
Why is my meetup showing under a different month than the event date?
A meetup’s URL uses the month it was submitted, not the month it happens. The listing itself always shows the real event date — only the URL prefix reflects the entry month.
Why isn’t my city in “Popular Locations”?
Popular Locations only lists cities with at least one approved meetup. As soon as a meetup in your city goes live, the city joins the list automatically.
Why do some meetups not appear on the map?
The map view geocodes each address through OpenStreetMap, which can take a moment on first load. A missing marker usually means the address hasn’t resolved yet or couldn’t be matched — try refreshing, or double-check that the meetup’s address is complete.
Can I switch between light and dark mode?
Yes — use the sun, moon, and monitor icons in the footer to choose light, dark, or system. System follows your device’s appearance setting and updates on its own. Your choice is remembered on this device.
Trust & responsibility
Are you responsible for tickets, refunds, or venue changes?
No. meetup.mk is a directory, not the organizer. Tickets, refunds, and any payments are handled entirely by each event’s organizers. We work to keep listings accurate, but always confirm the details on the official meetup channels (website / Discord).
If something goes wrong at an event, are you to blame?
No. We don’t run the events listed here — we collect and surface them. If you spot incorrect or out-of-date information, email meetupmk@protonmail.com and we’ll fix it as quickly as we can.
How do I report an incorrect or spam listing?
For now, email meetupmk@protonmail.com with the meetup name and what’s wrong. A built-in report button is on the roadmap.
Is meetup.mk open source? Who runs it?
Yes — meetup.mk is open source, maintained by akira, MVKB, blivioniag, and quaddepos, a small group of contributors from the mechanical keyboard community.
