i have, but i'm not sure yet how to implement LoRa.

LoRA might not be a radio on mobile
Hacking bits and pieces from meshtastic's firmware is most probably the fastest way.
Meshtastic is currently using cheap esp32 which act as interface between end device and the LoRa radios. The meshtastic app uses the radio via the esp32's bluetooth or wifi. Serial over usb also works. Some people use card radios like the t1000 magsafe'd to their phones, which is cool. I am sure these things will become smaller and smaller in the coming years.
If the transport layer for bitchat becomes fully agnostic, this can be easily prototyped. Logically, making this work over LoRa, which has a very low bitrate and hourly frequency utilization limits, would pose some interesting challenges.
Let me know if you find this interesting, I'll gladly help hacking the firmware and testing it with the radios
I thought your ideal is that "Everybody knows LoRa".

Sadly not super practical for sender use given lack of market penetration compared to a phone, but I’ve used these before for some long-range projects.

You could simply use #Sideband on your phone. #reticulum is not restricted to LoRa although designed also to work with it. If there would be a Bluetooth interface for reticulum you were able to communicate just with your phone and Sideband.
