Nature was fairly high on the “emerging catgeories” list.
As always, we have to be conservative with the number of categories we create, as:
- selecting categories is very onerous on mobile devices (which don’t auto-complete the category name)
- the category list is already overwhelming for new users
- some categories aren’t busy enough to justify their existence.
- we have to take care that public categories hold the SE23 theme of the site
- new members may not realise they can mute categories - and it’s a bit hidden as a feature
If we create a new category I’d suggest we get rid of the Property category and merge its posts into Wanted/Offered
