Not quite a request but seeing what people thought.
Do we need a UK News community?
At the moment we have:
But nothing for the main news. At the moment [email protected] is scooping up most of it.
We touched on this area previously.

Looks like we’re just going the way of UK subreddits
[email protected] for UK news and [email protected] for non-news UK posts
Looks like it, I just wasn’t sure if the United Kingdom one wanted to be kept for more general stiff about the UK which was a bit more serious than Casual UK and then a dedicated UK News community would be the automatic destination for news.
Tbh we could have it and see where people go. No reason to just copy Reddit
True. Reddit evolved organically, whereas a new start lets us put a bit of planning in.
So you could have:
News:
Non-news:
Over in the other discussion I also suggested c/muckraking for tabloid journalism and gossip (which would give people the chance to block it and not have it trouble their timeline).
Just bumping this and tagging in a few folks to see what their thoughts are: @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected].
Honestly, I’m in favor of seeing where things land.
As we’re a smaller instance, more “general” communities are good for keeping things feeling active.
But if people are keen to try starting things up and seeing how they go, I don’t see any reason to stop them, other than mentioning my previous sentence.
