I looked at the ‘aboot’ section on this community and must have missed the part where it said this is explicitly a community based around news and only news?

    Definitely not just explicitly Toronto news!

    However Lemmy’s user base is niche for a social media platform - privacy focused, less addicted to social media, smaller, etc. so personal posts aren’t common and engagement happens less often rather than same day.

    News and precreated articles are an easy way to get some content on the platform, otherwise there would be a lot less on here.

    I await with great anticipation your trash bandit photos.🦝

    News is just easy to post since someone else did the work to write it. Feel free to talk politics since the municipal election is coming up, or post a photo, ask a question, or whatever you want (within reason)!

    (I think the issue in your case is repeated/duplicate posts which is why it is downvoted).

    Just made a non-news post aboot a personal interaction in the city, because you called out the state of the community. :)

      Oh yeah, I just got aggressively attacked for sharing something I’m proud of, and maybe I picked the wrong community, and maybe I also didn’t realize that, depending on someone’s chosen feed parameters, they might have seen every post I shared in a row, which is also my bad (I guess?), but as I said to one asshole, it isn’t a shit song, we are a good band, and I am a real person just trying my hand at alternative social medias. So thank you!
