As far as Lemmy is concerned, I just joined an instance that’s relevant to my location (feddit.uk). I suppose if it grew a great deal more popular than that, I could create a community there for my local county.

I should absolutely mention though that I’m still hard at work on Habitat, which is a platform for local communities, and each post has a lat/long location associated for a more hyperlocal type of interaction. It’s not on the Fediverse though (though there are plans for non-Fediverse federation).

It is currently not federated, and I should be careful with my words because people often confuse my intent when I talk about this. Federation is planned but ActivityPub is not. More details on this are on github.

Listen, I’m going to shamelessly self promote my project all I can! Also PHP, also Symfony: Habitat is a platform for local communities. I don’t think PHP gets enough love! It’s incredibly versatile and is actually very fast in recent years.

Mate! It was you who commented something to this effect on my post a while back! I’m trying to understand what you mean, I really am, but it’s not going in. Could you humour me, and explain to me what it is about an image accompanying a text post that makes it bad? Is it that so very often when an image accompanies an article you’ve seen so many instances of it being low quality content that you’re conditioned to assume the same even when it isn’t the case?
