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 ~Freecycle@london.lemmy.uk 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).
