We have a smattering when the enthusiastic have started them but it’s patchy.

Naming conventions: use your best judgement but go with what makes it easiest for people to find - if there’s more than one name go with the English for now and you can save the, for example, Welsh one for a Welsh-language community.

edit: as discussed in the comments, you may be better off with a more regional community first - those like London, Manchester and Liverpool already function like that as they cover the greater city area. So instead of Chelmsford and Southend, start one Essex; instead of Lancaster, start one for Lancashire. At least initially until things really get going here. That list is over here.

The list:

  • Aberdeen
  • Armagh
  • Bangor, Northern Ireland
  • Bangor, Wales
  • Bath
  • Belfast
  • Birmingham
  • Bradford
  • Brighton and Hove
  • Bristol
  • Cambridge

    I was going to say the same: If you’re not sure, start with a county, and make towns/cities as needed.

    Cornwall for example: On the old site had 35k users, Falmouth had 600, and Truro didn’t seem to exist!

    Edit: Possibly ever regions and nations for the less populated bits might work!
