I wish it was a lot more active, I know I have to give it time for users to start using this community. The subreddit is one of the few I still check on reddit to get local news and local stuff.

    Contribute and it’ll be more active. Every now and then I’ll post an interesting article and comment on others. If everyone did, we could have a really active community.

    It’s become slightly more active in the last weeks. Give it time. With what Reddit’s doing to its users I think eventually more will migrate here.

    Can someone more talented than me set up a bot to automatically post local CBC articles here?

        There’s a cbcvancouver instagram profile, at least. It frequently posts about non-vancouver stuff though.

      I probably could, there are Github repos with code to do exactly that, but I don’t know if it’s against the community or anything.

      Could probably set up a Bot to post local articles and whatnot from multiple sources.

        I think there’d have to be some manual review or something for high value posts. If everything local gets posted it’ll just start to feel like spam with no interaction.

    Just found you today. I’ll be on the lookout for local content to share and comments to make.

    Vancouver has a reputation of “no fun city”, so why should it be any different here? /s
