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 made a Lemmy account on feddit.uk earlier today (same username as this) as I figured that many of the communities I interact with most often on Reddit are UK-based and so I might want to base myself on feddit.uk to minimise the federation lag I’ve been observing from kbin the last couple of days. All seemed to work fine, but then after I logged out I was unable to log back in again - no error message, it just whirs away and then nothing happens. I’ve tried on both my phone and laptop, exactly the same thing happens. Any chance you know what’s going on and could suggest something? I can at least see that my account does exist!
