Hey y’all! Wanted to test the waters here on adding in more news from surrounding cities here - any interest in more activity from Olympia, Everett, and the peninsula?

The description for the community includes surrounding areas, but I’m not sure how many people here are actually in Seattle or if we have a more diverse crowd location-wise than I can tell.

Anyway, been enjoying posting here and I hope you all haven’t minded me too much!

My preference is for more, smaller communities (like !ballard@lemmy.world ) and communities that are off default instances (like !seattle@lemmy.sdf.org ) but I will subscribe to whatever community you decide to post to because I am interested.

Ah thank you! I didn’t know the Ballard community existed!

Also thanks for the suggestion on the other seattle one. I’m not necessarily tied to any instance in particular, I was aiming for most populated. Don’t mind at all posting in off default comms!

I'd create !tacoma@sh.itjust.works and !everett@sh.itjust.works and then add them all to a greater metro area feed, like so: https://feddit.online/f/greaterseattle (with the disclaimer that I threw that together just now as an example and I'm sure it's very incomplete)

This is exactly the kind of thing I want! Perfect!

I’m doubly glad I made this post then. Learned something new and can contribute in ways the community would prefer!
