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.

The Welsh government partially subsidized Welsh being added as a learnable language on Duolingo, then duo says they’re going to cease development of it as it doesn’t get the traffic of larger languages like English, Spanish, French, etc. According to their metrics, 3 million people attempted to learn Welsh on Duolingo but that isn’t enough.
One thing to note is, the 3 million mark was reached AFTER Duolingo announced they were halting development and the subsequent publicity campaign. There's no indication how many (or few) users there were of Welsh prior to that.
