 But... This is also why I want to be able to run my own nodes, relays, messaging servers, etc. Having an exclusive whitelisted relay for a local community is my dream, currently.

 Yes, but Freedomcells.org is much more known in the US and advertised heavily by Derrick Broze, John Bush, and Jack Spirko, so you should start there as well. Decentralization.

Once I started my group, I made our own Telegram group (gimme a break it was 2021) and built a website as well.

 I'm aware of what it is, and who promotes it. I've just found it to be rather lackluster in my current area. 

I'm hoping that it's better in my new area, or, since I will be in that state possibly the rest of my life, I won't mind putting in more effort to build a community that doesn't suck.
