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.

Ah I could read it fine - I'll update with an archive link in a sec

Thanks for that but, as we are a link aggregator and everything revolves around the link, it is better to have the main URL as the original article and add the archive to the body of the text. That way, if others post the same link, Lemmy detects it and provides a link over to the other community (which also helps us spot when the same link is posted twice to the same community).

Ah 😂 I'll switch it around again. Starting to feel a bit like the hokey cokey...

And while you are at it... put your left leg in.
