there are too many hyper local subs on there to stop reading it entirely… I’d love to even get state level channels on lemmy, but there are only a few.
Yeah, there is one for my town and what I miss is that there were some really good local meteorologists in there. They’d call out storms or bad weather days before it came up on any weather feed and most of the time they were super accurate.
I kind of miss it, but after being banned for nonsense, I don’t think I can go back. It was fun while it lasted but everyone knew once they went public, it was going to change and it did.
Something else will replace it. Might be Lemmy, might be something else. I don’t really care of it’s a for-profit model, just don’t run it like assholes. There’s no reason it has to be so binary.
The only online local communities I am aware of for where I live are on facebook, so I just don’t get involved. Reddit does have a county wide one but that is pretty quiet. Oddly the city subs are more popular than the county one but I don’t live in either city. Might be because both have a fairly big uni.
