Personally, I find it kind of difficult to follow local (i.e. town/city) news in my area, so I’m curious if others elsewhere are experiencing similar, or if you’ve had better luck somehow.
Part of this I think may be self-inflicted on my end, as I don’t really watch televised news nor use corporate social media, but even when I have skimmed over those, they tended to cover larger cities & broader areas instead.
Edit:
Btw, you don’t need to mention news orgs/sites you follow that might give away your location, I’m just curious about the general state of local news for you, e.g. whether they’re still around via newspaper/website or if you’ve also found yourself in an awkward limbo where it’s larger cities/region news over your own immediate area.
I used to follow my local subreddit and they would post local news but now that I’ve moved to Lemmy, that community is non-existent. Maybe I can try to start a local community. It would be better if there was an rss bot for lemmy to pull in articles to get content for the sub.
You might wanna check-in with the dude running the world news community on fleddit. He set up some kind of bot feed the community with news articles. I’ll dig around in my lunch break and see if I can find his name for ya!
