## What is Local Forum?

Local Forum is a location based social media platform where you can connect with people in your neighbourhood, town, city or even farther based on common interests. You have the ability to set your distance preference which will control how far away you want to see posts from where you are. You will also be able to create and join communities which help categorize discussion threads and conversations based on common topics or interests.

How it works:
- Create an account and verify your email (you can browse around without verifying your email but you'll not be able to publish content before you verify your email).
- Explore communities and join the ones you are interested in. You can also create new communities using the top left or top right drawer icons.
- Then you can create a post under any community or simply browse posts created by other local users in the communities you have joined.
- You can interact with other's posts by liking them, commenting on them or starting a private conversation with other users.
- Happy connecting!
