These networks are designed to be able to join them from anywhere in the world. It is possible that there is not much activity where you live, that means that it is up to you to expand it in your area. With very little work, anyone can do it. With just half an hour of effort a week, spreading awareness, inviting neighbors and strangers to join in, in 2 years you will have achieved enough activity for it to function almost by itself. You will have made a difference in the history of your town and the world.
