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.

As discussed in the post on requesting UK city communities on Feddit.uk in some cases it may be better to start a wider regional community (county, city region, etc) and then spin off ones for cities and towns as it grows.

And, yes, there'll be some debate over names. Either debate it below (where you should also flag up ommisions) or get cracking and we can tidy up later.

Are you sure? I've been and I am still sceptical. I've added it to the list though.
