I've not locked further into it as it seems to have limited use. There is no global public network so unless I build a complete network with my community, there's no way to actually use reticulum to communicate with distant people. Am I wrong in this assumption?

There actually is a global public network. I host a #public #reticulum node that you can connect to over the commercial internet: https://reticulum.n7ekb.net. It provides a bridge from my local low power RF-based (#LoRA) nodes to other RF-based networks. I also run a mobile RNode in my car that can use my mobile phone to tie it into the "global" network.
