Thanks for creating this community. I'd prefer an open discussion of science rather than pushing the UK perspective too hard. But I'm interested to see how this will organically work out.

Welcome along! Yes lets find the right balance - jump in! Submit the stuff you'd want to see! ;)
Glad you made the community :)
My thoughts for submissions would be:
- Try to use good root sources when posting content.
It doesn't have to be a link to nature, but articles linked should trace back to valid sources. - Might be worth thinking about level of accessibility we want to go for. Some people would be happy with dry papers, others might prefer New-Scientist level, and others might want Guardian/BBC summaries of things.
I think these are great points.
The thing I'd probably enforce is "no paywalls" with regards to sources, but yes, let's aim for a balanced approach where the content is informative yet not overly editorialised, allowing for a good mix between accessibility and trustworthiness.
I'm open about content; I think we're all invested in growing the fediverse and feddit.uk in general, so I feel quite relaxed about finding the accessibility level for now, but let's not make it that you need to bring your PhD every time you log in 😉
