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.

Careful with those, almost started a house fire once because the connection wasn't as tight as it needed to be. With it being magnetic and carrying power you run into the risk of metal debris magnetising itself on it and completing a circuit
I'll keep an eye on them, thanks for the heads up 👍
I've looked into getting these magnetic connectors for some of my devices but I've seen to many horror stories online about electrical damage caused by these cables. Seems worth it just to stick to plain connectors.
Or just non fast wireless chargers
