I’ve been using Instagram as a way to stay up to date with all the local community events or small businesses doing events around me for the past couple of years.

With everything happening at Meta and TikTok, I’ve deleted and uninstalled most social media accounts and apps.

Do y’all have any suggestions for keeping up to date on local events around your neighborhoods without having to use Instagram or Facebook? Do I have to sign up for 30 email newsletters?

    If you’re lucky they have an Atom or RSS feed somewehere. (Even if it just may be one from their back-end so they can show the articles on their news page). You could then put that in an RSS reader of your choice.

    If you have some scripting experience you could check out Newsboat. You can use a script as source there, and that script then scrapes the their website and generates an Atom feed from raw HTML parsing.
