I think the best solution to this is an option for meetup posts to recur automatically at some frequency. My crude hack for the Austin meetup keeps us on the map, on the sidebar, and out of the discussion section- this should be something everyone can do easily.
A solution which does not put meetups on the map and on the Nearest Meetups sidebar strikes me as a strongly suboptimal solution. It’s not obvious to me that we need a third reddit for meetups.
This does not work for meetup groups that have a different topic every time, like ours does. I’m going to ask the group whether they think this is a good idea, but membership is getting a bit poorer and it might still impact that.
I’ve edited the Austin meetup post to change the topic, like I’ve edited the post to change the date- having the date automatically adjust should work out for your situation as well. (It’ll still require constant work on your part- but no more so than making a new meetup post every time.)
Do you actually need to make a separate top-level post for the meetup to appear in the sidebar or on the map? I thought there was a separate mechanism for that.

btw, that meetup post currently says the next meetup is November 9, 2019. Is that deliberate?
