There's a Telegram group 'fidonet.online' (mainly occupied by Russians). That has (or had) a gate to a Russian echomail area (I don't know if it is still active)...

But I don't agree with you that it will attract more (young) people to fidonet. Maybe a few outsiders will join such a group. But it won't get them to "join" fidonet, as a node/point/bbs-user. Maybe they remain active in the Telegram fidonet group, but that isn't a fidonet participant.

Bye, Wilfred.
