Thank you @tom@feddit.uk for setting this up!

Hey everyone. I'm new to Federated internet as a whole (no points for guessing where I've spent the last 13 years of my time on the internet) but happy I found a UK centric instance to join! Thanks for setting this up @tom@feddit.uk . I'll chuck over a fiver when i can!

Cheers! Been hoping for a UK instance

If you set up a patreon I'd happily set up a recurring payment. Quite a few do it for mastodon.org.uk I think 👍

I'm a dev too, and quite excited by the fact it's written in Rust and seems to have a lot of things that need doing. If I can get some time I'd like to have a poke around 😀

Thanks Tom. I didn’t realise lemmy lag was tied to the instance, so I’ve switched from lemmy.world to here. Already it’s blazing fast!

Thanks to federation I guess it makes NO difference content wise as to what we see in our All feeds right?

And being in the UK myself performance should be great. Thanks mate

Why does organising posts by 'hot' show posts that are 10 days old?

Hi @tom@feddit.uk. This feels like MySpace all over again but I don't see you on my friend list.

Hi @tom@feddit.uk . Thanks for setting up and hosting this instance.

I created a new community "pomeranians". It is not UK specific, please let me know if it is not appropriate and I will move it to another instance.

Thanks for the intro,Tom. Just arrived here and finding my way at present. Looking good so far... 😁

thanks for setting it up, lets hope we stay active.

just a quick question - what happens if the instance goes dark ? do we have to create accounts on other instances ?

Hi @tom@feddit.uk Thanks for setting this up. It's all new to me but I hope to contribute more once I've found my feet. Good Luck to you and all other users.

I noticed some comments from ukcasual@lemmy.world aren't federating to feddit.uk this evening. These are a couple of hours old so I would have thought they would have propagated through. Wondering if there are any issues?

from now call me jack

has any notice those live pop ups, top right on the screen ?

if you selected [all] - as in, included posts to your subs on other servers, you get like a sporadic burst of pop ups, like a live feed of new stuff.

@tom@feddit.uk any idea how this works ? is federation like, live, or every 5 mins or what am i seeing ?!?

It's wild.!

Take my ko-fi money! Thank you for setting this up!

Hi Tom - I made a Lemmy account on feddit.uk earlier today (same username as this) as I figured that many of the communities I interact with most often on Reddit are UK-based and so I might want to base myself on feddit.uk to minimise the federation lag I've been observing from kbin the last couple of days. All seemed to work fine, but then after I logged out I was unable to log back in again - no error message, it just whirs away and then nothing happens. I've tried on both my phone and laptop, exactly the same thing happens. Any chance you know what's going on and could suggest something? I can at least see that my account does exist!

Glad to find a space for UK communities!

Hello! Thank you for setting this up!

Is anyone else using Jerboa and when trying to subscribe to communities you just get stuck on "Pending"? I couldn't find a help community so not sure where to post this

@tom thanks for doing this.

Do you have any affiliate codes? For things like Amazon.co.uk or other places that do it? If we link to products from here, you might as well claw a bit of cash back from the company for driving sales there and the trickle of cash should help, especially as the place grows (affiliate link money should scale with the user base). It may even be possible to have a bot who adds the affiliate code to the relevant links, but that is beyond my meager understanding of such things
