Community for the Feddit UK instance.
A place to log issues, and for the admins to communicate with everyone.

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.

That's not really a good thing. If feddit.uk became overloaded and went down everything would be lost. Best to have a nice split with instances.

Any good admin would take regular backups, if Tom wanted to stop administering the instance and isnt on a cloud platform, those back ups can be migrated to a new server. Lemmy can run on docker too

And plenty of people here would be happy to carry the server on with similar ethos.

Absolutely agree. It'll take a while to settle down and the way the fediverse works will benefit these types of issues.

Plenty of opportunity for other .uk instances to pop up and share the load.

Share the load. Share the looaad.
