Social Media Policy; Welcome to the official social media pages of Lyndon, Kentucky. We use these platforms to share news, updates, events, and information about city services, programs, and initiatives with our residents and community.
Our social media accounts serve as limited public forums for constructive dialogue and information sharing related to city government topics. We aim to foster transparent, timely, and helpful communication. Not every comment or message will receive a response; for official inquiries or responses, please use traditional channels such as email, phone, or the city website.
Guidelines for Public Comments and Engagement
By posting, commenting, or interacting on our pages, you agree to follow this policy. We review content and may hide, delete, or report posts/comments without notice if they violate these rules. Repeated violations may result in blocking or banning the user.
Prohibited Content Includes (but is not limited to):
• Spam, duplicate posts, or comments generated by bots or automated software.
