As discussed in the post on requesting UK city communities on Feddit.uk in some cases it may be better to start a wider regional community (county, city region, etc) and then spin off ones for cities and towns as it grows.

On the links front, Lemmy uses the same system as Reddit but copy and pasting in the URL will do. When using markdown, it’s best to use the general link format for a community, like /c/lancashire.
