I have used and and but maybe there are others people are using?

It would be nice if we could promote some standard British Columbia hashtags. One of the things that I really miss from old twitter was the ability to hone into emergency information, so if we had a standard format, it would be helpful.

I had not considered that the strategy needs to accommodate both groups.

I’ve struggled with this also while setting up my news bots.

Given the international nature of the Fedi, I’ve landed on using $TownName + BC, as there are cases where the straight town name is pretty common (I.e. “Duncan”).

I also include the straight $TownName as there’s probably a good chance that newcomers to the Fedi likely would start there.

I suspect adding BC would be suitable for QualicumBeach?
