United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'm noticing that when I view some communities in other instances from within the feddit.uk instance, it says there is 0 comments on every post, or I can't see posts at all. When I view them from an account I made on lemmy.world, I can see everything. I can only assume that this is related to the 'Undetermined' language option. Tom is this something you can look into please? Under Settings there is a Languages box (different to interface language), but we can only select English rather than 'Undetermined'.
If you Ctrl+ Click English and Unspecified, it will select both. I've personally just clicked on the languages box, pressed Ctrl + A to select them all, so I can see posts in all languages. I had an issue at first where I accidentally selected only Undetermined and some Cyrillic language, so when I posted from jerboa (which I guess automatically selects the language if you have more than Unspecified set), it was marked as that language.
We have my pinned post on the main page now where this has been addressed, thanks. It was an issue for accounts created within feddit.uk
Just came here to edit my comment (and mention I didn't realise this was an instance-specific issue) after seeing that, cheers!
