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.
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.
Can someone more talented than me set up a bot to automatically post local CBC articles here?
CBC doesn't seem to have a feed for just Vancouver news.
It might be a bit of overload just pulling things from the BC feed and dumping that here: https://rss.cbc.ca/lineup/canada-britishcolumbia.xml
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.
