Ideas for making this sub more active/alternatives to local FB groups?

I got off of FB a while back and one of the last things I remember was typical Facebook rudeness in replies on the Nevada City Peeps FB group (most FB town groups seem to be like that). I know that's pretty much the entire internet today, but FB seems extra bad because the site 'highlights' the most controversial replies, which makes more people pile on when a reply to a post is shitty, which then creates a shitty culture in the group. The NC Peeps group isn't even *all* that bad compared to some other FB groups but there's just a shitty culture on Facebook in general.

Sometimes online communities on Reddit or elsewhere are more civil, because there's better moderation, or at least it's not Facebook where 'everybody and their bored crazy uncle' is (I guess?).

The Nevada City, Grass Valley, and Nevada County Reddit subs are all pretty small, and more importantly, not all that active. Also A+ on how you are generally pretty nice in these three subs.

Anyone interested in 'doing stuff' in these three local subs, to make them more active and build a more positive alternative to some of the ...other places?

I'm thinking things like 'weekly post with events' ,or other recurring posts that promote postiive and useful conversation rather than just waiting for people to have a question they get around to posting. Maybe even an occasional in-person meetup?

Anyone have ideas on posts that build community on these Nevada County subs?

I've had really good luck meeting great people via Reddit over the years and I'd love to have a more active Reddit community for Nevada County but activity/community feels kind of splintered across three very small subs (plus Truckee)/Sierra subs too)
