Request a Feddit.uk community
As discussed in the post on [requesting UK city communities on Feddit.uk](https://feddit.uk/post/131040) in some cases it may be better to start a wider regional community (county, city region, etc) and then spin off ones for cities and towns as it grows. And, yes, there'll be some debate over names. Either debate it below (where you should also flag up ommisions) or get cracking and we can tidy up later. Administrative divisions (countries, principalities and the like) of the [United Kingdom](/c/unitedkingdom) * England * [Scotland](/c/scotland) * [Wales](/c/cymru) * [Northern Ireland](/c/northern_ireland) * Channel Islands * Isle of Man Regions or sub-divisions (counties, both metropolitan and non-metropoiitan, often defaulting to the traditional counties for now): England: * [Bedfordshire](/c/beds@feddit.uk) * [Berkshire](/c/berks) * Buckinghamshire * [Cambridgeshire](/c/cambridgeshire@feddit.uk) * [Cheshire](/c/cheshire@feddit.uk) * [Cornwall](/c/cornwall@feddit.uk) * [Cumbria](/c/cumbria@feddit.uk) * [Derbyshire](/c/derbyshire) * [Devon](/c/devon@feddit.uk) * [Dorset](/c/dorset) * County Durham * [Essex](/c/essex) * [Gloucestershire](/c/gloucestershire) * [Hampshire](/c/hampshire) * Herefordshire * [Hertfordshire](/c/hertfordshire@feddit.uk) * Huntingdonshire? * Isle of Wight * Isles of Scilly * [Kent](/c/kent@feddit.uk) * [Lancashire](/c/lancashire@feddit.uk) * Leicestershire * [Lincolnshire](/c/lincolnshire@feddit.uk) * [Liverpool](/c/liverpool@feddit.uk) - Liverpool City Region * [London](/c/london@feddit.uk) - Greater London * [Manchester](/c/manchester@feddit.uk) - Greater Manchester * Middlesex * Norfolk * Northamptonshire * Nottinghamshire * [Northumberland](/c/northumberland) * Oxfordshire * Rutland * [Shropshire](/c/salop@feddit.uk) * Somerset * [Staffordshire](/c/staffordshire@feddit.uk) * Suffolk * Surrey * Sussex - covering East and West * Warwickshire * Wiltshire * Worcestershire * [Yorkshire](/c/yorkshire@feddit.uk) - covering West, South and North Yorkshire Scotland: * Aberdeenshire * Argyll * Ayrshire * Berwickshire * Bute * Banffshire * Caithness * Clackmannanshire * Cromartyshire * Dumbartonshire * Dumfriesshire * Elginshire or Moray * Edinburghshire or Midlothian * Fife * Forfarshire or Angus * Haddingtonshire or East Lothian * Inverness-shire * Kincardineshire * Kinross-shire * Kirkcudbrightshire * Lanarkshire * Linlithgowshire or West Lothian * Nairnshire * Orkney * Peeblesshire or Tweeddale * Perthshire * Renfrewshire * Ross-shire * Roxburghshire or Teviotdale * Selkirkshire or Ettrick Forest * Shetland * Stirlingshire * Sutherland * Stirling * Wigtownshire Wales: * Anglesey * Brecknockshire * Cardiganshire * Caernarfonshire * Carmarthenshire * Denbighshire * [Flintshire](/c/flintshire@feddit.uk) * Glamorganshire * Merionthshire * Monmouthshire * Montgomeryshire * Pembrokeshire * Radnorshire Northern Ireland: * Antrim * Armagh * Derry/Londonderry - that's above my pay grade * Down * Fermanagh * Tyrone Channel Islands: * Alderney * Guernsey * Herm * Jersey * Sark Other: * Falklands * Gibraltar * Isle of Man
There was a reasonably active community on Reddit, but now that I'm not there anymore, I miss it.
We've got communities for the Lib-Dems, Tories, Greens and (iirc) SNP but we don't have anything for us dirty dirty socialist in the Labour Party.
Big user of the UK Parenting subreddit over on Reddit and I think it might be handy to have a similar community over here.
Not quite a request but seeing what people thought. Do we need a UK News community? At the moment we have: * [uk_politics@feddit.uk](/c/uk_politics) * [ukbusinessnews@feddit.uk](/c/ukbusinessnews) * [andfinally@feddit.uk](/c/andfinally) But nothing for the main news. At the moment [unitedkingdom@feddit.uk](/c/unitedkingdom) is scooping up most of it. We touched on this area [previously](https://feddit.uk/post/292078).
I've got an itch to make one, but I suppose it wouldn't strictly all be UK-centric content, although that's not to say that UK doesn't produce plenty of great science. I suppose my argument would be that it seems healthy for the fediverse to have similar, but distrubited communities and it's something that would hopefully be engaging for people here. If it's not outside the scope of this instance then I might just go-ahead and see if the thing gets traction. Happy to mod it; my credentials are that I'm a scientist in my day job and I used a run a fairly popular e/n blog back in the day. Thoughts?
OK, so this is a big ask but we should be able to create a list of excellent music communuties covering, genres, bands, artists, instruments and anything else we feel is great to add. While this is the UK music scene, it can easily include references to music topics from around the world but focussed on the amazing UK followers. You know the drill, if you know of a community, would like to see one exist or happy to spin one up then leave a comment and I will add it to the list. # General/Genric Communities - [UK Music](https://feddit.uk/c/ukmusic) # Gigs, Festivals & Events - [Glastonbury Festival](https://feddit.uk/c/glastonburyfestival) - [Download Festival](https://feddit.uk/c/download) - [Eurovision](https://feddit.uk/c/eurovision) - [Reading and Leeds Festival](https://feddit.uk/c/readingleeds) - Bestival - Latitude - [Slam Dunk North and South](https://feddit.uk/c/slamdunk_festival) # Genres - [Punk & Rock](https://feddit.uk/c/ukmusic_rockpunk) - Jazz - Electronic (EDM) - [Techno](https://feddit.uk/c/techno) - Dubstep - R&B - Rap & Hip-Hop - Country - Pop - Classical - [Extreme Metal](https://feddit.uk/c/extrememetal) - Heavy Metal / Death Metal - Goth - Emo - Prog Rock - Post Punk - [Drum & Bass](https://feddit.uk/c/drumandbass) # Bands - [Muse](https://feddit.uk/c/Muse) - The Beatles - The Who - Elton John - Rolling Stones - [Creeper](https://feddit.uk/c/creeper) # Other Topics - [Instrument - Bass](https://feddit.uk/c/bass)
A chance to curate a list of the UK Rugby League & Union teams. Whether you know of an existing group or want to create and moderate one, use this space to let me know and I will keep the list up-to-date. Please use the comments to: - Let me know if I have missed a team - Send me a link to an existing/new community # Overall Community - UK Rugby League - UK Rugby Union # UK Super League Teams (Individual) - Castleford Tigers - Catalans Dragons - Huddersfield Giants - Hull FC - Hull KR - Leeds Rhinos - Leigh Leopards - Salford Red Devils - St Helens - Wakefield Trinity - Warrington Wolves - Wigan Warriors # UK Rugby Union Teams (Individual) Will need to populate this one as not a union guy (sorry)
We have a few already but if your team isn't here then get it started. If you are wondering whether to start one for a bitter rival, you might want to ask yourself why: if your motives are pure (to provide balance) then go ahead but probably think about finding moderators who are fans, if they are less so then find another community on here to start - there's not a shortage after all. Key: * M = moderators needed Currently we have: English Premier League: * [Arsenal](/c/gunners) - M * [Aston Villa](/c/avfc) * Bournemouth * [Brentford](/c/brentfordfc) - M * [Brighton and Hove Albion](/c/seagulls) * [Burnley](/c/clarets) * Chelsea * Crystal Palace * [Everton FC](/c/efc) - M * Fulham * [Leeds United](/c/lufc) - M * Leicester City * [Liverpool FC](/c/lfc) - M * Luton Town * [Manchester City](/c/mcfc) * [Manchester United](/c/reddevils) - M * [Newcastle - nufc](/c/nufc) * [Newcastle - newcastleunited](/c/newcastleunited) * [Newcastle - uewcastleunited](/c/uewcastleunited) * Nottingham Forest * Sheffield United * Southampton * [Tottenham Hotspurs](/c/spurs) * [West Ham United](/c/hammers) - M * Wolverhampton Wanderers Yes, we do currently have three communities for Newcastle United, might want to have a moratorium on creating more, possibly even think about a merger. Scottish Premier League * Aberdeen * Celtic * Dundee * [Hearts](/c/hearts) * Hibernian * Kilmarnock * Livingston * Motherwell * Rangers * Ross County * St Johnstone * St Mirren Also: * [Sunderland](/c/safc) edit: Adding list of what we currently have (that I can find)
We have a smattering when the enthusiastic have started them but it's patchy. Naming conventions: use your best judgement but go with what makes it easiest for people to find - if there's more than one name go with the English for now and you can save the, for example, Welsh one for a Welsh-language community. edit: as discussed in the comments, you may be better off with a more regional community first - those like London, Manchester and Liverpool already function like that as they cover the greater city area. So instead of Chelmsford and Southend, start one Essex; instead of Lancaster, start one for Lancashire. At least initially until things really get going here. That list is [over here](https://feddit.uk/post/236549). The list: * Aberdeen * Armagh * Bangor, Northern Ireland * Bangor, Wales * Bath * Belfast * [Birmingham](/c/birmingham@feddit.uk) * Bradford * [Brighton and Hove](/c/brighton@feddit.uk) * [Bristol](/c/bristol@feddit.uk) * [Cambridge](/c/cambridge@feddit.uk) * [Canterbury](/c/canterbury@feddit.uk) * Cardiff * Carlisle * Chelmsford * Chester * Chichester * Colchester * [Coventry](/c/cov@feddit.uk) * Derby * Derry * Doncaster * Dundee * Durham * [Edinburgh](/c/edinburgh@feddit.uk) * Ely * [Exeter](/c/exeter@feddit.uk) * Glasgow * Gloucester * Hereford * Inverness * Kingston upon Hull * Lancaster * [Leeds](/c/leeds@feddit.uk) * Leicester * Lichfield * Lincoln * Lisburn * [Liverpool](/c/liverpool@feddit.uk) * [London](/c/london@feddit.uk) (technically City of London is one too but let's not split hairs at this point) * [Manchester](/c/manchester@fesdit.uk) * [Milton Keynes](/c/milton_keynes@feddit.uk) * Newcastle upon Tyne * Newport * Newry * [Norwich](/c/norwich@feddit.uk) * [Nottingham](/c/nottingham@feddit.uk) * Oxford * Perth * Peterborough * Plymouth * [Portsmouth](/c/pompey@feddit.uk) * Preston * Ripon * Salford * Salisbury * Sheffield * [Southampton](/c/southampton@feddit.uk) * Southend on Sea * [St Albans](/c/stalbans_uk@feddit.uk) * St Asaph * St Davids * Stirling * Stoke-on-Trent * Sunderland * Swansea * Truro * Wakefield * Wells * ~~Westminster~~ - stick to London for now * Winchester * Wolverhampton * Worcester * Wrexham * York edit: adding in links to existing ones
