Cunversatzione "Use It Or Lose It" Language Question: What About Sharing Accessible Educational Linguistic Content Online?
Creating online communities and other types of accessible, public, free, online and educational entertainment would be very useful to keep alive the diverse multiple regional languages that exist across the Italian, Hispanic and Portuguese territories like the public subreddits including:
r/Mirandes , r/Portuguese , r/Galego , r/Asturlleones , r/Spanish / r/Espanol / r/Castellano / r/SpanishLanguage , r/DjudeoEspanyol / r/Ladino , r/FablaAragonesa , r/Catalan , r/Occitan , r/Zeneise , r/LearnLombardLanguage , r/Venetian , r/Italian / r/ItalianLanguage / r/Italian_Language , r/Sicilian / r/Sicilianu , and r/Interlingua .
Some local connected languages exist across the island of Sardinia that are part of one linguistic continuum of gradual transitions in the following order:
The Sardinian language, the Sassarese language, the Castellanese language, the Gallurese language, the Corsican language, the Tuscan language, and the national Italian language.

I am surprised that there have been better efforts to preserve local regional languages that are spoken by population numbers that are much smaller than the number of speakers for the Sardinian language.
The best educational content online for learning Sardinian that I could find was this old series of short lessons by "Telesassari":

What about if we created more language subreddits to commemorate and preserve the local languages of Sardinia?
Sharing is caring because sharing quick, accessible, public, free, online and educational content related to the language about any topic regularly at least once a week is the bare minimum that is enough to support a subreddit in being alive.
People tend to pay more attention to simple explanatory diagram images and other types of short, accessible, public, free, online, entertaining and educational linguistic content shared by language teachers at other social media platforms that are big sources of inspiration for ideas.
The diverse multiple local languages of the island of Sardinia are a valuable cultural relic that can grab the interest of linguistic tourism from the Latin side of the planet.
