Let's use this thread to share ideas about the sidebar content: I think content guidelines are helpful, so I suggest:

Let's aim for a unique community experience. Suggest we encourage discussions and contributions that go beyond mainstream news; let's not simply mirror the BBC science news section.

Embrace the UK perspective. While it's not essential, we should encourage posts and discussions that highlight the UK perspective and interests in science. This can include UK-based research, events, or scientific achievements.

Adopt the Bill & Ted rule: be excellent to each other!

I think these are great points.

The thing I'd probably enforce is "no paywalls" with regards to sources, but yes, let's aim for a balanced approach where the content is informative yet not overly editorialised, allowing for a good mix between accessibility and trustworthiness.

I'm open about content; I think we're all invested in growing the fediverse and feddit.uk in general, so I feel quite relaxed about finding the accessibility level for now, but let's not make it that you need to bring your PhD every time you log in ๐Ÿ˜‰
