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!

Why Feddit

    Hello, thanks for hosting. I’m not from reddit, but given the recent events I thought it’s a good time to join and hopefully help snowball a federated platform.

    I’ve been using matrix for a while but struggle to find active communities - perhaps due to the nature of chat rooms. Hopefully lemmy fares better.

    Do keep us posted with the technical details of the instance - I think many people here would appreciate it.
