I’m looking for something where I can do some local community building, I’m guessing mastodon might work but I think the ideal is something like facebook where I can join a group tied to a common idea and a location, as well as being a bit more personal. Is there anything like that?
fortunately I’m not trying to replicate young, rich and sexually active lol, I’m moreso interested in finding people near me with similar goals
Getting a critical mass of people to sign up for the service depends on having something to offer those people. In the case of Facebook, that offering was initially “this is where you can find your hot classmates” and subsequently “this is where the hot college students hang out”.
I guess that’s a good point. I might just have to be the one to go into some facebook groups I’m interested in and try to get people to move over to friendica or something
If you want to start a group with old, poor, and ugly then sign me up!
