In !newcastleupontyne@lemmy.world we have a list of other UK communities in the sidebar. It might be nice if we can get a comprehensive list of the other UK based communites too, so if you run one or know of one, drop a link here. Make sure it's in the remote format so that they can be reached from any instance - this is !<communityname>@<instanceurl>. I don't think hyperlinking works properly yet, but there are active issues raised on the github to get it functional.

Ooh. I like this idea! When I'm at a computer again I'll look into adding a similar sidebar to !manchester@mcr.town

Here's Bristol !bristol@lemmy.ml

I tried a bit to get that going, but I don't think there was a lot of interest in people migrating from the other place. Shame :/

I love Bristol

[–] sideone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Good idea, I'll pin it for a while

If you're from somewhere not covered in this thread and inexplicably wish to speak to your neighbours, try just chucking your city name or whatever into https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Here is one for fellow Cantabrigians !Cambridge@kbin.social
And a little-known place called London !london@kbin.social; !london@feddit.uk;

kbin.social seems to have a bit of bother when it comes to permitting other instances from accessing its activitypub feed. Unless I'm doing something wrong?

Salted stale cardboard flavour.
