Meshtastic: An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network
yggdrasil can use WiFi on Android, I haven't tried it yet - https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/. yggdrasil gives you the ability to use TCP/IP applications over its mesh network but doesn't offer any end-user functionality itself.
Manyverse can use WiFi for decentralised social networking - https://www.manyver.se/. They're currently in the middle of a rewrite of the backend and a protocol switch away from Secure Scuttlebutt to their own protocol currently named PPPPP.
Reticulum/Sideband offers a P2P messaging system over WiFi or other mediums - https://github.com/markqvist/sideband
- Sideband v0.4.0 - with Paper Messaging and better hardware support - has been released

A comparison of various anonymity/privacy focusing networks
Mobile support: Yes, Android only for now though. There is an example Android messaging app that uses Reticulum here: https://github.com/markqvist/sideband. The app source code can be used as an example for others that want to use Reticulum on Android, at least until I get around to writing a full Android development guide. There is some preliminary info in the manaul on the topic here as well: https://reticulum.network/manual/gettingstartedfast.html#reticulum-on-android

While it still requires a few more steps to set up, a system based on Reticulum, using a client like Sideband is a lot more flexible. You can mount the radios in optimal positions, for examples on your roof or another high spot, and Reticulum can automatically bridge the LoRa and your home wifi network, so everyone on the wifi network can share the single radio on your house, without having to connect anything directly to their phones/devices. Here is how one user have utilised this during hurricane Ian.
