Made a python script to create posts via meshtastic messages. If you can see this, the test worked! Posting from the park with no mobile data ^_^

Wuhuu! Not yet! I do have a few ideas on how to implement that. Since the size of messages is limited to 200 characters, and since trying to transmit too much data via meshtastic wouldn't be very efficient, I am brainstorming about how to implement notifications and fetching in a somewhat compatible manner.

One approach would be via some interface that displays the minimum amount of data (for example, first few letters of a post's title, community, username). The user would "fetch" specific pieces of data, which then gets stored into the phone's memory and this way one can populate the application with content without overloading the mesh.

It's not something I am too seriously considering actually making, I am just having a bit of fun.
