General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I briefly tried mastadon. I don't like the format, it's a twitter basically, the federation is a plus, but the entire thing is a popularity contest. Almost all engagement is driven by those with large follower counts, 99 percent of posts are seen by almost no one.
Which is ok if you want to build a following, but for your everyday user, reddit or lemmy is more egalitarian, your posts, and your comments, can be considered on their own merit regardless of your follower count.
You need to use hashtags on mastodon, otherwise nobody will be able to find you!
