Tried Simplex for a bit, but seemed like there was a lack of channels/groups that were both active and useful.
Can you recommend any resources to get connected with those?
I use it for IRL contacts mostly
There are directories for groups, here is the official one (others contain lots of porn)

What kind of group were you thinking of?
I'm not really sure. I think I want to find groups local to my area, specifically those that would be involved in 50501 type organizing. I want to learn about and get involved in (though I think in a limited scope) mutual aid organizing in my area.
I don't want to say where I am specifically, but groups focused on mid-atlantic of the US would be most relevant to me.
Don't think any groups like that exist, simplex is mostly known by cybersecurity/opsec nerds. We would have to be the change we want to see.
Almost all 50501 people use discord and reddit, with a small subset on signal. There's a growing awareness to use better platforms however so I'm spreading the word.
