Feddit UK - UK Lemmy instance on the Fediverse : ukcasual

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just went straight to Feddit.UK after reading that it was best to choose small, but not too small instances. And yeah, it's been great. The only issue I've found is that joining communities from other instances can be slow - I assume that if you're the first subscribers on your instance it has to do some fetching of data. Yesterday it took me 10-15 minutes to join one community.

I found a PSA post from Lemmy devs earlier on that I brought to Tom’s attention, it will hopefully address this issue.

Ah cool. Thanks. Yeah, I saw something about worker threads or something and wondered if that was a cause.

If you're looking for a one-click subscription, hopefully these links will work:

Clicking on these causes Jerboa to crap out for me. But as someone else pointed out if I click on community links via another users profile it takes me to the community where I can subscribe, even if it's in another instance.

It looks to me like it isn't in the list at the federation info maybe that's why?

Just created an account here after using lemmy.world for several hours yesterday. Definitely seems a bit quicker using this instance, thanks!

You can see how Lemmy and it’s users are building as we go, it’s really neat to watch it all fall into place naturally

Do wonder whether there will be trademark issues…

while the US seems to prefer lemmy.ml, lemmy.world or beehaw.org

Of those I think only beehaw.org is US-based isn't it? lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are European (I forget where, and I don't really care so there's no need to tell me).

Really happy I picked Feddit.uk :)

Joined up and it seems to be working great so far.

Good info, thanks

EDIT: wow, so much quicker to post

I joined a few days ago and can reccomend creating an account there. As Lemmy grows, the need for more instances grows as well.

Is it down? I was going to sub to some of these.
