Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other “ActivityPub” software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on feddit.uk, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!
Feddit UK is a UK specific instance of Lemmy, ideal for people from the UK or are just interested in following the UK community.
This instance is hosted by me Tom, an experienced software dev based in London. I decided to host Feddit UK as I saw many instances already made for other countries and none for the UK and saw the need for a UK community on the Fediverse. To help the upkeep cost of this instance, please consider donating by buying me a coffee!
Why Feddit
Feddit comes from the combination of the words Fediverse and Reddit. Lemmy is a new alternative to Reddit based on the Fediverse!
What are the rules here?
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or xenophobia
No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
Do not share intentionally false or misleading information
Does anyone know, how do I go about subscribing to a community that exists on another instance but that doesn't come up when I search? I've been to browse.feddit.de and found https://lemmy.ml/c/dwarffortress exists and now I want to subscribe to it but can't work it out!
To answer a bit my own question (and to make things easier for future refugees), I changed my URL to https://feddit.uk/c/dwarffortress@lemmy.ml which took me ostensibly to that community, whichi let me subscribe.
I don't actually see any of the posts that I know are there because I can go to https://lemmy.ml/c/dwarffortress but that might be a problem for another time
Same here with !chatgpt@lemmy.ml think if I give it some time the posts may cache here, @tom@feddit.uk do you know if you configure different caching times?
This is a Lemmy issue, it doesn't start to index stuff from remote servers unless users interact with it. For example if you go to !deathcore@lemmy.ml you'll only see this post because I specifically pulled it in.
