I actually really enjoy this, it’s really cool to login each day and only see UK specific content in a similar style of the subreddits of old, and with most of the features of Reddit. Previously I had to have them with a multi reddit, but my home page was full of world wide content.

I like that due to federation I can still look at content from around the world but it’s not my default experience. Feels more personalised.

    That’s not really a good thing. If feddit.uk became overloaded and went down everything would be lost. Best to have a nice split with instances.

      Any good admin would take regular backups, if Tom wanted to stop administering the instance and isnt on a cloud platform, those back ups can be migrated to a new server. Lemmy can run on docker too

        And plenty of people here would be happy to carry the server on with similar ethos.

        Absolutely agree. It’ll take a while to settle down and the way the fediverse works will benefit these types of issues.

      Plenty of opportunity for other .uk instances to pop up and share the load.
