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.
Having an absolutely lovely day filled with various food from the 2 food festivals around me!
Hope everyone’s having a great Saturday, it’s sweltering here, 30 degrees! Probably not the right place to ask this, but I don’t want to create a top level post. I’m just wondering if there’s a list of UK focused Lemmy communities anywhere? There are some, which I thought would already exist, that I’ve not been able to find.
Apologies if I’m missing something, I’m new to Lemmy having been a reddit user for 15 years (although I’ve been using Mastodon for a while, so generally used to the fed way of doing things).
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 !unitedkingdom@lemmy.ml 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 !london@lemmy.world . 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.
I created one yesterday at https://feddit.uk/c/london but I admit I have no idea what I’m doing. If you want I can lock mine and redirect any traffic I would have got to yours?
Unhelpful comment but i definitely saw a London community earlier: https://feddit.uk/c/london (will that link work?)
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 👍
My husband is asleep, the house is quiet. I’m loving it. Just relaxing and knitting, peacefully. Not much sun for me today.
Peace and quiet, knitting, no sun…sounds like the perfect day to me!
It has been lovely. :)
I woke up to a load of noise downstairs, went to investigate assuming it was my cat… who I couldn’t see. No problem, I thought.
Stood in the kitchen making a cuppa and I hear a very sorry meow, so obviously assumed my poor boy was hurt!
No. Completely wrong. Some random cat is sat on the windowsill in my living room. Dead lovely little thing that enjoyed a bit of fuss before I let it back out into the world!
Dreadfully tired after a late night of doom scrolling, but the day is glorious and there’s work to do outside, so it’ll probably balance out. Good afternoon friends!
Moved out of York earlier this year and will be heading back for a proper visit for the the first time since the move today. Going to be strange driving past the place I lived for years but on the plus side, it’s one of the few places in the UK with a taco bell!
one of the few places in the UK with a taco bell!
If it’s anything like the US taco bell, probably best avoided. Enjoy York though, it’s lovely.
Just dragged myself out of bed at half nine, got the house to myself for probably only about half an hour but what a gloriously silent half hour it will be!
Then I don’t think we really have any major plans today. Need to get to the shop for some embroidery floss, and also it’s International Knit In Public Day today but honestly there’s no meetups near us and I’m not sure I want to just go sit randomly in a park somewhere and get sunburned.
So tldr gonna veg here on the couch with the blinds drawn all day and hide from the sun, it’s gonna be mint.
