Why is there a !yyc community as well as a !Calgary one? I've posted a bunch on the yyc community, but most posts didn't have too much discussion. How active is this one and would it make sense to merge them somehow?

Why is there a !yyc community as well as a !Calgary one?

Just like on Reddit, people can and do create multiple ~~subreddits~~ communities for various things. Usually, then, one becomes the more popular one and the others die out. This one was created before the yyc one I believe, and personally I prefer it being called 'Calgary' over 'YYC'.

There's room for as many as people want honestly. I'm interested to see how long it takes before the Calgary mods invade and bring all their bullshit. In that case, I'll sub to the other one.
