Feddit.uk is shaping up to be a UK version of Reddit. With most UK subs in one place.
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.
I'm subbed to the lemmy.world one, not sure I'll bother with the others. I suspect the smaller ones will be largely inactive and just confuse me at some future point (my future self being easily confused).
UKcasual on lemmy.world has 2.33k subs. You'll see a different number depending on which instance you view it from. To see the true number, you need to view it at the source instance.
The mods discussed it, but felt it would be a shame to lose the (then) 1000 subscribers that had already found us. Maybe if some sort of migration tool becomes available we could bounce over.
