I'm can't seem to login to Jerboa. I'm entering Feddit.uk as the instance. Anyone else had this issue?
United Kingdom
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.
Have you tried the lowercase version feddit.uk?
Thanks for setting up a UK based instance Tom. I see that the federation between this instance and communities from external instances seems to be growing now! (I think? Tbh I have no idea what I'm doing but it seemed to be working a minute ago.) Appreciate the work you're putting into building a new place for us.
Hi im glad to be here have just deleted my reddit account lol
Is there any sort of new user help community that anyone knows about? Every time I try to comment on anything the ‘Post’ button just keeps spinning.
Edit: judging by the fact it works here I’m guessing it has something to do with trying to comment in communities on other servers/instances?
Yeah I was seeing some issues posting to (and even loading from) other instances. Timed my week off quite precisely for this :)
seems a bit odd right now, so you're supposed to be able to connect with other communities on other instances, and i can see https://feddit.uk/c/[email protected] but get a 404 on https://feddit.uk/c/[email protected]
Hi @tom.
I noticed non of feddit.uk local communities seem to show up in browse.feddit.de
As this is where lemmy points folks to search. It seems a good idea to get it listed somehow. Just to reduce unwanted community splitting. But I am having issues working out how.
According the the feddit.de admin if other instances know about feddit.uk the system should check it 4x a day to list communities.
So as !narrowboat now has a few members from other instances that list it in all. I'm suprised it still will not show up this morning.
Do you have any ideas where to look for advice on this.
Sorry it took me a while to reply I’ve looked into this and I’m not sure what’s wrong, I’ve tried searching for feddit.uk instance on all the big instances and can’t find us.
Check nginx error logs and not found anything yet I’ll dig deeper into this later in the week as well as upgrade the server just in case it’s a load issue
@tom @HumanPenguin If it helps, I managed to subscribe from kbin (fedia.io), so federation is definitely working.
nods. @[email protected] is the admin at feddit.de
Id recommend you introduce yourself and see if he has more ideas?
Perfect thanks yeh will get in touch with him this week
Does anyone know, how do I go about subscribing to a community that exists on another instance but that doesn't come up when I search? I've been to browse.feddit.de and found https://lemmy.ml/c/dwarffortress exists and now I want to subscribe to it but can't work it out!
To answer a bit my own question (and to make things easier for future refugees), I changed my URL to https://feddit.uk/c/[email protected] which took me ostensibly to that community, whichi let me subscribe.
I don't actually see any of the posts that I know are there because I can go to https://lemmy.ml/c/dwarffortress but that might be a problem for another time
Same here with [email protected] think if I give it some time the posts may cache here, @[email protected] do you know if you configure different caching times?
This is a Lemmy issue, it doesn't start to index stuff from remote servers unless users interact with it. For example if you go to [email protected] you'll only see this post because I specifically pulled it in.
(Also, lemmy.ml seems to be struggling ATM)
