   Between Partiful, Posh, Luma, Instagram, and yes even Meetup, I'm not sure how people aren't "finding events" around them. I literally get invited to like 100+ random things every week.

      How do you find events on instagram? I absolutely hate that everyone uses it to publish events. Even when you think, what's going on at location X, you get a feed of asorted photos and you need to doom scroll until you find what's on next weekend. Yeah, sure, the algo puts randomly events into your feed, but when you want to search for a specific type you just out of luck. I am seriously considering writing a scraper, that scrolls for me and just puts all events into a DB, so I can display the events in a sane way.

         I follow local coffee shops, hotels, bars & coworking spots. They always post events on their social media.
