It’s Saturday, one of the best days of the week (for those of us who don’t work weekends, anyway).

What’s happening? Barbeque in the sun? Sheltering from an impending thunderstorm?

Pop in for a chat.

    I’m not sure if there’s an official list but we’ve got a couple of UK-focused instances popping up, feddit.uk and lemmy.org.uk although both have been having stability issues I believe.

    Community-wise apart from whatever is on those I know there’s [email protected] if you’re into the more serious side of things.

      Thanks, I’ll take a look. I was surprised I couldn’t find a community for London for example, so I’ve just created one [email protected] . Feels like there are lots of other significant gaps for other major towns and cities, sports teams etc. I’m sure it will get there.

        Looks like there’s one on lemmy.ml as well but it’s empty. This is a useful tool if you’ve not seen it https://browse.feddit.de/

        Generally though I think a lot of people are glomming together into bigger more general communities until such time as a more specific one is needed. Feels more active, that way. But you do you! :)

          I couldn’t see any others when I searched earlier (I tried the browse sites and searching - I may just be really bad at it or I guess there are some scaling issues with the recent influx of users, I’m getting a fair few timeouts and things).

          I’ve no real desire to run a community so I’d be happier if there was an existing one. Fair point on the more general communities at this stage, I saw a couple pop up for other UK cities in the trending list so went looking for London and came up blank. It’s not something I’m wanting to push at all, so I’ll leave it as is and if people use it, that’s ok, and if not, that’s also ok.

          Interesting, it doesn’t show up when I search for it, I wonder if it’s bene de-federated or something? it would be great if there was another one, I’ve no real desire to run a community so would be happy to go to an existing one.

            The search sometimes takes a few seconds to actually pull new communities, and in the meantime looks like it hasn’t worked. But in this case you do seem to have indexed it correctly so this link should now work 👍
