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.

You can use Mastodon to interact with Lemmy content and vice versa, but generally speaking the user experience isn't good. Lots of manually typing URLs and trying to figure out what you're looking at when you get there.
In theory you could host a Lemmy and Mastodon server under the same domain (using subdomains, e.g. lemmy.feddit.uk and mastodon.feddit.uk), but they'd be different servers in most ways that matter. I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).
I'm hoping at some point that different services will allow shared logins (with APIs it should be relatively straightforward) or a separate ID service (ActivityPods?).
