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, it’s really great. I’m a bit sad that UKCasual has ended up somewhere else though…

          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.

            For something like Casual UK, I don’t see it being an issue, I suspect wars may be fought over Star Wars and Star Trek.

          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.
