In my region of Australia, there are active community groups on Facebook but not really (to my knowledge) any other online spaces.
I want to move away from Facebook, but unless that local stuff exists elsewhere I can’t fully quit. I’m involved in my local community garden, so I’ve been thinking I could set them up on a second platform (in addition to Facebook). It’s only one piece of the community, but it would be something, y’know?
So I’m wondering - where does your local community garden have an online presence? What other platforms might be useful for this sort of group?
(We currently have a Facebook page open to the local community, a little-used website, and email and FB Messenger chats for members.)
Same but school stuff (parent groups for the class, fund raising discussions) and all family friendly community events are events on Facebook. I want to leave, but if I do I lose too much information and connection. So Facebook it is
