What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other “ActivityPub” software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on feddit.uk, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!

What is Feddit.uk

Feddit UK is a UK specific instance of Lemmy, ideal for people from the UK or are just interested in following the UK community.

This instance is hosted by me Tom, an experienced software dev based in London. I decided to host Feddit UK as I saw many instances already made for other countries and none for the UK and saw the need for a UK community on the Fediverse. To help the upkeep cost of this instance, please consider donating by buying me a coffee!

    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
