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.

@TedWard @unitedkingdom Nice! Hopefully Mastodon can be a viable way to both explore and interact Lemmy for people who would prefer that.

Just tried this myself with my Mastodon and can confirm that I can reply to you!

@unitedkingdom You can also follow communities and people on #Lemmy from mastodon.

To do so you copy the url into the search on #mastodon

You can also do this to reply to posts.

...so does a post get created here, if i just tag it up ?

very cool - but.... could get a bit busy, if a new post easy is created so trivially easy ?

@doublejay3000 @TedWard

I'm predominately a Mastodon user and I create lists.

So for example I have a list for '[email protected]' and when new stuff gets published to that community it populates my list :)

#list #Feddit #UnitedKingdom

@PragmaticOne @doublejay3000 LISTS! I forgot about that! thanks for the tip!

@doublejay3000 Honestly I am unsure how it all works. I think the post is created on the mastodon server i am on then pushes it to the place you tag. Maybe its a cross post?

I'm still unsure if using the one account over many fediverse service is really workable. I know people are working on more support between lemmy and mastodon but right now it is a little bit janky.

@TedWard I'm reading this on kbin.social, having subscribed to community on Feddit. My little brain is struggling - but I like it.

That’s an incredibly cool feature. It’s even possible to view threads fairly efficiently via mastodon, but I’m guessing you already know that.
