Peopling refers to the act of populating or inhabiting a place with people. It is the process of individuals coming together to form a group or society. On the other hand, a community is a group of people who share common interests, values, or goals and who live in the same area or interact with each other regularly. A community is a more organized and cohesive group of individuals who have a sense of belonging and connection to each other. Peopling is the initial act of bringing individuals together, while a community is the result of those individuals forming relationships and connections with each other.
