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.
Yeah, I have done the same. It shouldn’t be a competition. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the others aren’t actually full of Brits, so hopefully ours is quality over quantity haha!
There’s a lot of chatter across the lemmyverse about how to solve fractured communities with the same topic. Maybe it won’t be an issue forever.
For something like Casual UK, I don’t see it being an issue, I suspect wars may be fought over Star Wars and Star Trek.
