There is also !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.
Ah fuc*... I've searched for it, but probably I didn't get the results I wanted... sorry for the duplicate!
Does it make sense to have two identical communities? There are duplicate posts already...
No not really... I will postpone thinking about it to later this day (after sleeping)
I'd keep it. People can subscribe to both, and I often find myself looking for goods in EU stores (aka. not UK, sadly) so I don't have to pay ~30€ handling fee + tax. I know that OSS exists, but it's rarely apparent whether any given online store uses it.
I mean the UK isnt part of the EU and there are significant differences in law and trade stuff so its not a clear cut answer.
Feddit.uk is not just used by brits
Yeah but the community is called buyeuropean not buyEU
This is true. !buyeuropean@feddit.uk is for whole Europe and not just EU (the community logo is bit misleading atm).
It's of course ok to have a more EU specific community but I personally think Lemmy isn't big enough to have so much fragmentation and incredibly specific communities (yet).
But we can link to !buyfromeu@feddit.org from our community if OP decides that there is need for EU specific buy-community. Fediverse is free and both communities share the same goal: support closer economies!
Lemmy Explorer is a great tool to see if a community already exists :)
Would you like to become a moderator?
Looks like a brexit trap
