Request a Feddit.uk community

143 readers

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
  • Doncaster
  • Dundee
  • Durham
  • Edinburgh
  • Ely
  • Exeter
  • Glasgow
  • 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
  • Plymouth
  • Portsmouth
  • Preston
  • Ripon
  • Salford
  • Salisbury
  • Sheffield

Thanks for letting me know. I've added the first two to the list but Blackpool is a town.

Haha... Well almost hit the back of the net 😆. Cheers

Unless we consider the Tower as a cathedral for light entertainment (I have Peter Kay live from their in VHS and am open to this line of thinking)...

[–] lypticdna 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

YES! Peter Kay live from Blackpool. That can only have been the 'Top of The Tower' one. I remember seeing it years ago but was on Dave a year or so back. Hilarious!

That propelled him to The Big Time. So many people saw it eventually (it was on Channel 4 quite a bit of you hadn't already got the home video release). I was in the vegetable aisle of a supermarket and a man turned to his wife and said "garlic?" and a voice from the next aisle shouted "bread?" Everyone killed themselves laughing.
