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.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other “ActivityPub” software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on feddit.uk, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!

What is Feddit.uk

Feddit UK is a UK specific instance of Lemmy, ideal for people from the UK or are just interested in following the UK community.

This instance is hosted by me Tom, an experienced software dev based in London. I decided to host Feddit UK as I saw many instances already made for other countries and none for the UK and saw the need for a UK community on the Fediverse. To help the upkeep cost of this instance, please consider donating by buying me a coffee!

Why Feddit

Feddit comes from the combination of the words Fediverse and Reddit. Lemmy is a new alternative to Reddit based on the Fediverse!

What are the rules here?

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or xenophobia
No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
Do not share intentionally false or misleading information
Do not spam or abuse network features.

Hi @tom.

I noticed non of feddit.uk local communities seem to show up in browse.feddit.de

As this is where lemmy points folks to search. It seems a good idea to get it listed somehow. Just to reduce unwanted community splitting. But I am having issues working out how.

According the the feddit.de admin if other instances know about feddit.uk the system should check it 4x a day to list communities.

So as !narrowboat now has a few members from other instances that list it in all. I'm suprised it still will not show up this morning.

Do you have any ideas where to look for advice on this.

Sorry it took me a while to reply I’ve looked into this and I’m not sure what’s wrong, I’ve tried searching for feddit.uk instance on all the big instances and can’t find us.

Check nginx error logs and not found anything yet I’ll dig deeper into this later in the week as well as upgrade the server just in case it’s a load issue

@tom @HumanPenguin If it helps, I managed to subscribe from kbin (fedia.io), so federation is definitely working.

[–] HumanPenguin 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

nods. @wintermute@feddit.de is the admin at feddit.de

Id recommend you introduce yourself and see if he has more ideas?
