Here’s how to see what other people are posting around you:
On the website, click on the “Explore” tab (circled) then type in your location (or any place) in the “location” box (circled)
You can see that 52 people (including you) made 242 observations in your town.
You can look at any of them and see the maps - maybe you will find new places to go! You can see which ones have been identified, and learn from them, or maybe there are things you can help identify. You might know more than you think - most of us don’t realize how much we know about the things around us.
You can widen your use of “Explore” to see other places nearby, or other countries. Maybe places that have similar organisms as yours, so you can learn them, or maybe far away places that have totally different organisms, just for fun.
One of my favorite things about the forum is reading about things I would never get to see myself, from people who live on the opposite side of the world from me. Here’s a great topic for that:

It’s a very long, popular thread.
