I am into a couple city subs on reddit and they are useful and interesting sources of news (though usually the comments are about the worst of everything about reddit). I’ve thought about helping to kickstart the corresponding communities here by posting relevant news, events and photos. About half the links on the reddit subs are local news articles, which are fair game. Nobody would probably object to ‘I lost my cat!’ photos being reposted anywhere too, though it’s not super exciting content.
