United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Mastodon isn't ready yet but it could be. Honestly, Lemmy still needs time to develop too.
It's early days and we should be open to new ways of doing things. Dogmatically sticking with the initial idea of what these platforms look like will only ensure their demise.
Personally, I think that accounts and communities on the Fediverse should just be federated. That way, platforms like Lemmy essentially act as a p2p network. No more needing to pick a server, no concern over having someone steal your username on another instance, and no more overcrowding on popular instances. You can just get put on a server that has space for you (or run your own), and control what you see and don't see without.
