You're entirely welcome, good sir!
And sadly no, not at the moment. I seem to recall some time ago there was discussion about having a reddit-like front end (and people could opt in with their location) but nothing like that is available at the moment.
You could "filter" by following certain geographical communities (like the London community, which you can see isn't exactly hopping right now) or tags (like #teamuk). I know @steevc also has something called The Brit List which he updates regularly. But if I hear of anything, I'll be sure to shout out!
Thanks again for the heads up!
Btw, is HIVE/Peakd mainly a blogging platform? There seems to be more written content blog style here than anything else. Is blogging the way to go here?
