Request a Feddit.uk community

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 few already but if your team isn't here then get it started.

If you are wondering whether to start one for a bitter rival, you might want to ask yourself why: if your motives are pure (to provide balance) then go ahead but probably think about finding moderators who are fans, if they are less so then find another community on here to start - there's not a shortage after all.

Key:

  • M = moderators needed

Currently we have:

English Premier League:

Yes, we do currently have three communities for Newcastle United, might want to have a moratorium on creating more, possibly even think about a merger.

Scottish Premier League

  • Aberdeen
  • Celtic
  • Dundee
  • Hearts
  • Hibernian
  • Kilmarnock
  • Livingston
  • Motherwell
  • Rangers
  • Ross County
  • St Johnstone
  • St Mirren

Impressive - they made that hard to find!

Made a West Ham community for my Claret n Blue brethren.

https://feddit.uk/c/hammers

Any actual Hammers fans want to take it over, please message me.

[–] Emperor 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cheers - I might mark those we want to hand over

[–] Criton 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Good idea. Just a note - we don't need moderators for Burnley FC. That's my team so happy to stay on.

Stick a M by West Ham though please.

[–] Emperor 1 points 1 year ago

Oops - sorted.

[–] Criton 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I created Burnley (as you've kindly linked to) but am happy to make more for other teams then hand over to an actual supporter of those teams when they show up.

[–] Emperor 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

That's great thanks. I'll make Liverpool and Everton later. I suppose the other "local" teams to you would be Man U and Man City.

[–] Criton 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have made United but for some reason the site is taking an age to respond when I tried to make City. Will try again later.

Also, EFL sides probably need sorting.

Clearly the admin is a Man U fan!

Also, EFL sides probably need sorting.

Any suggestions are welcome as it's a bit outside by wheelhouse.

Just found this. Someone else has made it anyway.

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

Well found. It's now on the list.

[–] Criton 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also explains why Lemmy wouldn't let me make it earlier (I'd given it the exact same name)

[–] Emperor 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, good point

[–] Criton 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] Emperor 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks but that's at lemmy.ml - there's another at lemmy.world too.

[–] ckempo 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Avfc now exists for Villans everywhere.

[–] Emperor 1 points 1 year ago

Good stuff.

[–] Emperor 1 points 1 year ago

Great, thanks for doing that.

[–] Qxzkjp 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve made one for my local team, the seagulls: !seagulls@feddit.uk

[–] Emperor 2 points 1 year ago

Cheers. I've added it to the list.

Brentford created. Please stick an M next to this one.

Made one for Leeds - also needs an M.

Leeds, Leicester and Southampton need to join Sunderland in the non-PL teams list

Ta. Updated the list.

Leeds, Leicester and Southampton need to join Sunderland in the non-PL teams list

As things are in a bit of a grey zone (Schroedinger FC - are people truly promoted or demoted until the start of the next season), I thought I'd be as wide in my definition as possible. So I included those going down and coming up.

[–] echo 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Added !gunners@feddit.uk for Arsenal

Can add an M for mods as I won't have much time for that

[–] Emperor 1 points 1 year ago

Cheers, all done
