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.

Thread concept: List of sites about to block the UK over the Online Safety Act (piefed.social)

I know some small UK-based forums have shut down (such as the hamster forums) and a Lemmy server has cut off the uk (because the owner lives in the UK, despite hosting it elsewhere) but what sites have announced plans to geoblock the UK?

I see that Civitai is. Anyone else?

Old UK hoss needs comfortable new (old) boots. (hexbear.net)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

1 comments fedilink

I have some old boots that were a gift but sadly neither fit nor hang together anymore after all these years.

I suppose I coud buy another style of boot but I'm a low-key shitkicker whos isn't interested in paying "vintage hipster" auction prices or encouraging those people.

So if anyone knows a reasonably priced spot in the UK or what to look out for on the worn but wearable UK online market I'd appreciate the advice.
