How do I find people more local to me?
Hi, haven't been on in awhile. Came back. How do I find users closer to me? Do I have to sign up for the premium? I was hoping not to spend more money as I already have a Fitbit membership. Or even add people that will possibly check in with me and send me a message once in a while for encouragement.
