Does it exist? I miss when YikYak was for hometowns and you could view other cities or comment/post there if in range. I don’t like its current state after coming back. It was like the neighbour apps but less facebooky with a crowd under 50, was the ultimate local news source.

    Ultimate local news source? As a guy who spent way too much time on that app 10 years ago, wtf are you talking about?

        Idk, it was ao small. I think the fun was going a few blocks over and getting a totally different vibe/community. Can’t see how playing “whisper down the lane” ends up with good news coverage
