I remember when you could go on Facebook and look through your feed at what your friends are saying, catch up with them, and browse posts that they have made. Now, it's just completely random and chaotic, almost nonsensical. There's no logical sense to my Facebook feed at all. As you can see in the image, they are showing me stuff that I'm not even following. This is not even something that I am actively a part of! It's some random group. So what's the point of following a group or liking a page, if they're just going to show you random stuff anyway?

Fortunately, my area has a popular classifieds section at a local newspaper website that everyone seems to have standardized on. I guess people probably also use Facebook, but the local classifieds has a ton of listings.

So if Craigslist is essentially dead in your area, check the classifieds in whatever newspapers are popular in your area, maybe there's another relatively popular option. And regardless of what you do, it's totally fine to make posts in multiple places, so make a Craigslist post and updated it alongside whatever one you end up using.
