I actually really enjoy this, it’s really cool to login each day and only see UK specific content in a similar style of the subreddits of old, and with most of the features of Reddit. Previously I had to have them with a multi reddit, but my home page was full of world wide content.

I like that due to federation I can still look at content from around the world but it’s not my default experience. Feels more personalised.

Yeah, it's really great. I'm a bit sad that UKCasual has ended up somewhere else though...

I suppose there's no real reason not to start a UKCasual here and may the best community win!

I should of just done it in the first place rather than moan about it haha!

Edit: Boom! https://feddit.uk/c/casualuk

Nice one!

Let the best Casual UK win! Or happily co-exist, it's all very casual after all.

Just had a look and there is currently:

It'll be interesting to see how things develop.

Just subscribe to them all, that’s what I do

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have done the same. It shouldn't be a competition. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the others aren't actually full of Brits, so hopefully ours is quality over quantity haha!

There's a lot of chatter across the lemmyverse about how to solve fractured communities with the same topic. Maybe it won't be an issue forever.

For something like Casual UK, I don't see it being an issue, I suspect wars may be fought over Star Wars and Star Trek.

I'm subbed to the lemmy.world one, not sure I'll bother with the others. I suspect the smaller ones will be largely inactive and just confuse me at some future point (my future self being easily confused).

UKcasual on lemmy.world has 2.33k subs. You'll see a different number depending on which instance you view it from. To see the true number, you need to view it at the source instance.

Ah right, every day is a learning experience on here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah ty for that. Made a list on Masto so I can see them all in one place :)

[email protected] - 493 subscribers

I don't fully understand why these numbers are wrong (something to do with federation) but we have 2,330 subscribers :-)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't be. The internet evolves as with everything else :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not anymore, I went and made one here.🥸

The mods discussed it, but felt it would be a shame to lose the (then) 1000 subscribers that had already found us. Maybe if some sort of migration tool becomes available we could bounce over.
