Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations on the best social platforms, forums, or online groups for staying connected with the Capital Region community (Albany and surrounding areas). I’m interested in local events, discussions, recommendations, buy/sell, getting to know people and the neighborhood. You know, general local engagement.
I’ve tried Nextdoor and the Facebook group “Welcome to Albany,” but found both to be quite hostile and not very welcoming.
Are there better alternatives that are more positive and active?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
