I wish it was a lot more active, I know I have to give it time for users to start using this community. The subreddit is one of the few I still check on reddit to get local news and local stuff.

Can someone more talented than me set up a bot to automatically post local CBC articles here?

CBC doesn't seem to have a feed for just Vancouver news.

It might be a bit of overload just pulling things from the BC feed and dumping that here: https://rss.cbc.ca/lineup/canada-britishcolumbia.xml

There's a cbcvancouver instagram profile, at least. It frequently posts about non-vancouver stuff though.

I probably could, there are Github repos with code to do exactly that, but I don't know if it's against the community or anything.

Could probably set up a Bot to post local articles and whatnot from multiple sources.

I think there'd have to be some manual review or something for high value posts. If everything local gets posted it'll just start to feel like spam with no interaction.
