Narrowboat and UK inland waterways ( canal and river )

222 readers
1 users here now

A community for UK inland waterways enthusiasts. While boating is our main topic. Any UK canal or river based discussion is allowed.

Rules:

1: Be polite. If you have nothing good to say, say nothing. I am not banning rants. Just asking folks to take a min and consider the wording. I want every waterways user to feel welcome here. We should then be able to build a resource where folks can ask for advice as they plan some event. This means walkers cyclists fishermen boaters all have help and advice to give relevent to other users.

So please feel free to tell folks about an event that are things hard for you. We all enjoy joining in on the odd rant. But remember to use wording referring to the indevidual not the community they are a member of or activity they are partaking in. This way others with the same needs can learn from your needs from them while expressing their own from you.

I know this sounds like I am talking to 5yo. But really I do not want this to become Facebook like. In the way groups often attack each other.

2: No SPAM or sales ads. If demand exists. We can create a boats for sale wanted community. But please let's keep them off this community.

3: No NSFW. No one need narrowboats gonewild. Trust me you don't want me to join in so don't temp me.

OK. We know many boats have pets. We also see loads of wildlife along the canals and rivers.

This thread is a spot to share these critters with the community.

Before getting a narrowboat: Kingfishers live in books After getting a narrowboat: Three Kingfishers woosh by within seconds of each other. Beautiful!

This was near Wilcot on the K&A.

I've just found that not all messages on here are arriving into my view of the world on lemmly.ml, so I've created a new account with the same username but on feddit.uk :)

Using the Jerboa app, I can only log in to one account at a time, but maybe a new update to it will allow multiple accounts.

Alternatively I guess there's a way to link feddit.uk with lemmy.ml, but perhaps that requires admins gluing things together? (I have no Idea, it's all magic)

Yep I am not sure. Def seems to be a delay. As with the instance not showing up on browse.feddit.de Hopefully when @tom has some free time. He can ask other admins for assistance. But it just maybe the need to attract more instances to link in some way for the federation to work well. All guessers though.

Unfortunatly without setting up my own instance there is not much I can see as far as how the set up of that works yet. And things are to new to easy search for help.
