Rishi Sunak hints he could stay on as Tory leader if he loses General Election in c/uk_politics

I thought he was supposed to be going to the US. I can't see him staying if he loses bad.

It'll be interesting to see if he stays or goes.

Feddit UK_Politics compared to Reddit UK_Politics, lack of content in c/feddituk

I get your point on "syncing" too many posts which might cause little engagement. It would be nice to have more than the 2-5 articles that are currently what I'm roughly seeing. I'd like a balance of around 10-15, this would hopefully help with more engagement but not too much!

If you can find anything about the bots then I'll certainly try and help. Even without the bots I'll start to help with content. As I said, I was worried about backlash from just copying the content from Reddit but that doesn't sound like it's an issue.

Thanks for your answer. No worries on saying that I should help with the content, that does make sense. While I was on Reddit I would just "consume" the content without contributing as there were others to do it (Reddit probably had lots of users which probably helped).

I'd be happy to try and help, I wasn't too sure if I could just copy the titles and links from Reddit and that be OK? or if that would flag up as me spamming Feddit or something. I could start by just copying the first 10 articles/stories that were new. That would help with some additional content here on Feddit. It would obviously be better if we could somehow automate that but I'm not sure how to do that.

Thinking about automating this, if there was an easy way, then we could do other communities that are trying to replicate the Reddit ones then that would help with content on Feddit and might help others to move over

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask if there is any reason why UK_Politics on Feddit has substantially less content compared to UK_Politics on Reddit?

I'd love to only use Feddit but I find myself starting with Feddit and reading the stories/articles quickly and then checking Reddit to see other content. This annoys me (and maybe many others) as I would love to get completely away from Reddit.

Is it purely down to less people on Feddit vs Reddit? or some other reason?

Is there any way we could 'sync' with Reddit to get the same content? I'm not bothered with the discussion parts of it I'd just like to get the stories and articles (which would hopefully add more discussion on Feddit if we got them)
