General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

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.

Just on a technical level that is an amazing ad compared to the usual political soundbites in front of a few images.

ITT: no discussion avout UK politics or the Green Party, only discussion about federation, the online safety act, and restricted files. Never change, lemmings!

@BrikoX Unfortunately lemmy.zip is restricted in the UK because online safety act, so we can't see your post.

[–] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

Direct access to lemmy.zip is restricted, but the post is still federated so people from any other instance can access it.

@flamingos Thanks. Original still hasn't made its way across to my Mastodon instance it seems, but I can see this.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's just how Mastodon renders Lemmy posts unfortunately, it just takes the title, makes it bold and adds a link directly to the post.

@flamingos I know. Federated but not the same.
