Is this community more so for news posts? That’s all I really see here. Would love to engage w some fellow Chicagoans abt non-news stuff 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hope everyone is staying safe & hydrated this week 🥵

According to the rules you can post anything related to the Chicago area, so it’s probably just that their arn’t enough people on lemmy for a singe city community to have much other than news posts. Be the change you want to see in the community.

Post whatever you want! News posts are easy, so there's a lot of them, but anything with local interest fits. These communities just don't get a ton of traffic because Lemmy is so much smaller than Reddit

I guess I forget abt the size of the lemmy community. I’m still trying to shake off reddit 🤒
