Have you managed to sort out a way to remain as connected to the city as you were before? If you are enjoying Lemmy/kbin, what stands out as something you would appreciate seeing more of in the Calgary community here?

I would be interested in getting more of a niche community going as I do really enjoy Lemmy overall and appreciate the somewhat slower pace as well. Curious if others feel a need for something like this and thoughts around it!

Honestly, just here. The rest I let serendipity and socialising with people be my news. Social events are in full swing and I'm seeing people every day so just asking people what's up has been great.

Lately I learned the MardaLoop Community association gives a bunch of little discounts to businesses, and I can't wait for the community pool to be open.

For things like traffic I use google maps, better to find out exactly where the traffic problems are than wait for a radio to eventually tell me where there is traffic somewhere else in the city.
