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!

@tom thanks for doing this.

Do you have any affiliate codes? For things like Amazon.co.uk or other places that do it? If we link to products from here, you might as well claw a bit of cash back from the company for driving sales there and the trickle of cash should help, especially as the place grows (affiliate link money should scale with the user base). It may even be possible to have a bot who adds the affiliate code to the relevant links, but that is beyond my meager understanding of such things

No worries, there is a donation link in the post and that alone should be enough to cover the costs for now

My thinking was that if we are linking to Amazon you might as well get some money off them - I think they have more than enough!
