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'.
