United Kingdom
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.

Do we have site of any Lemmy instances that defederate from us? It'll be interesting to see if many do.
Not that that's a solution, as UK users can join any Lemmy instance (and non-UK users can join feddit.uk), but I can see some going for it as a quick fix.
Why would they? They're only legally liable for their own users, not ours.
I can imagine Ofcoms head exploding at the concept of the Fediverse.
"What's a Lemmy?"
