    Please can we have a “BuyNothing” or “Freecycle” Comunity? One for each city/region/area would be better but If needed we could have just one where post titles contain the location (SacramentoCA) before anything else. Then sorting / Searching would weed out the unwanted due to distance items.

      I feel it probably makes more sense for location-specific instances to have their own communities for these things. So for example, have a Lemmy instance for London, e.g. london.lemmy.uk. Then have [email protected] community, which is for Freecycle posts in London.

      Of course anyone from other instances can join, it just seems to make sense that something so location specific should be in a location specific Lemmy instance (of which there are a growing number).

          At this point I don’t see one. Lemmy is still quite small, probably less than 10,000 active users. I guess my comment was idealistic rather that realistic for right now.

          There is a list of instances here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances

          Also one of the instances has created a community browser that lets you search communities across instances, but I haven’t seen anything freecycle related: https://browse.feddit.de/

          Except maybe https://slrpnk.net/c/zerowaste?

          I think your instance lets anyone create a community, so you could create a freecycle community for all until there are enough users to support regional ones.
