 Today there was a huge cycling event in my hometown, all roads were blocked and I could not move by car.

I knew nothing about it. Why? Because I used to get news on my city on legacy social media.

I’m not looking at #X or #instagram anymore, so I am loosing information about what’s happening in my city. 

It’s difficult to keep updated at the local level, when you use #nostr only

How do you #NostrOnly people stay up to date with what happens around your place?

Any suggestions?

 Subscribe to the local newspaper? 
 Yes, this could be a way.
However, it lacks the simplicity of getting the news while scrolling.

For sure, there’s a trade-off! 
 I understand totally because thats what i going through.  
 Yep, it’s not so easy.
The best thing could be to convince the local newspaper to post on #nostr 😂 
 Use nitter rss feeds to follow accounts you are concerned about and a good rss feed reader like feeder.

 Interesting, thanks! 
 go and talk to the people at your local watering hole? 
 Good idea, I’ll jump on my donkey and see who I can find
