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.
Is there any sort of new user help community that anyone knows about? Every time I try to comment on anything the ‘Post’ button just keeps spinning.
Edit: judging by the fact it works here I’m guessing it has something to do with trying to comment in communities on other servers/instances?
seems a bit odd right now, so you're supposed to be able to connect with other communities on other instances, and i can see https://feddit.uk/c/selfhosted@lemmy.world but get a 404 on https://feddit.uk/c/metalmemes@lemmy.world
Yeah I was seeing some issues posting to (and even loading from) other instances. Timed my week off quite precisely for this :)
