One of the hardest things to figure out when in a new city [and even if you've lived here for a while] is figuring out what to do. I want to post these weekly so people can share what activities they're doing and maybe give some ideas on the things happening in our city.

I like the idea of lemmy because it seems like a place people can have more in depth and less sensational conversations about things, which was my favorite part about OG reddit. I recently moved to Louisville and to my first city for that matter, and I wonder what y'all think about the crime rates. I looked at wiki crime stats for all major US cities and it seems to be about in the middle for most of them. Would you consider Louisville to be more or less dangerous than other cities you've experienced? Is it on a decline or an upswing? Holding steady? And what do you think people can do about reducing the number of incidents of gun violence, robbery, and assault?

My first time making any community on Lemmy. Or on anything for that matter. Hopefully we can all get together here.
