Request a Feddit.uk community

If you see a need for a community on Feddit.uk then the best advice is to start it. If you need help, then post a message requesting volunteers to pitch in on the moderating. Don't worry too much though there's plenty of people around who can advise the important thing is to get the ball rolling.

However, if you think Feddit.uk needs a community but you aren't in a position to help it get started then this is the community for you. Start a new post with the idea and then, when someone starts it they can throw a link in.

We have a smattering when the enthusiastic have started them but it's patchy.

Naming conventions: use your best judgement but go with what makes it easiest for people to find - if there's more than one name go with the English for now and you can save the, for example, Welsh one for a Welsh-language community.

edit: as discussed in the comments, you may be better off with a more regional community first - those like London, Manchester and Liverpool already function like that as they cover the greater city area. So instead of Chelmsford and Southend, start one Essex; instead of Lancaster, start one for Lancashire. At least initially until things really get going here. That list is over here.

The list:

  • Aberdeen
  • Armagh
  • Bangor, Northern Ireland
  • Bangor, Wales
  • Bath
  • Belfast
  • Birmingham
  • Bradford
  • Brighton and Hove
  • Bristol
  • Cambridge
  • Canterbury
  • Cardiff
  • Carlisle
  • Chelmsford
  • Chester
  • Chichester
  • Colchester
  • Coventry
  • Derby
  • Derry

  • Gloucester
  • Hereford
  • Inverness
  • Kingston upon Hull
  • Lancaster
  • Leeds
  • Leicester
  • Lichfield
  • Lincoln
  • Lisburn
  • Liverpool
  • London (technically City of London is one too but let's not split hairs at this point)
  • Manchester
  • Milton Keynes
  • Newcastle upon Tyne
  • Newport
  • Newry
  • Norwich
  • Nottingham
  • Oxford
  • Perth
  • Peterborough

Thanks for that, it isn't even showing up in the searches - I had to hack the URL to get there.
