Oh hi, any dead fly biscuits?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

There's always dead fly biscuits. They're usually the last biscuit left.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Hello! Thanks for the quick approval. Any jammie dodgers?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Hey, reddit refugee. Hopefully this new host grows.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hello there, chocolate Hobnobs I hope ;-)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Of course, we're not barbarians!

And, as well as the political communities, you also have:

Actual anthropologists chipping in will he a big help in maintaining quality.

If you see a gap for a community, then don't be shy about starting one (just double-check it doesn't exist) and, if you have any other questions then ask away.

Hello hello what's all this shouting we'll have no trouble here!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

This is a local instance for local people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sign-ups are spiking again (somewhere on the Big Web enshittification is happening), so re-pinning this.

You are welcome to start a new post in this community to say "hello there" and/or ask any questions you may have. There are also links to other helpful communities in the sidebar.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Thanks for the welcome. Here from Reddit as I think it is getting a bit past it's sell by date.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

It definitely is!

Good to have you here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only just got here myself. I’m pulling back from unnecessary contact with organisations and countries that simply cannot be trusted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

It's a wise move, we have to insulate ourselves (and others) as best we can. Hope it all blows over.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not surprised it's getting a bit whiffy over there. I think somebody turned the fridge off a while ago.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Over a year ago. It must be minging in their now.

Im here from lemmy.zip where they blocked uk ip's in due to online privacy laws here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

If you're joining feddit.uk because you think our government have a good understanding of how to make laws around online privacy then I'm afraid I've got some bad news!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Welcome over. You should be able to access lemmy.zip from this instance, as we've worked with the Admins there to ensure content isn't blocked from feddit.uk.

Ahoy-hoy. I'm quite partial to Nairn's gluten free chocolate chip biscuits myself. I'm not intolerant of much, including gluten, they just taste nice and make good dunkers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Welcome, it's a niche biscuit but sounds a solid pick.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I brought some marmite crumpets. They're a bit stale, since they've been in the fridge for a few days, but if you microwave them they should be okay. I brought enough to make a handful of people mildly happy, whilst distressing everyone else

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Marmite crumpets are lush. I'll take some if they're still being handed out!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I brought some marmite crumpets.

You should really have mentioned that in your application.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

And risked it all? Never

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm new here in the Lemmy place, so just finding my feet. Trying to de-billionaire my life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Welcome to feddit.uk. If you have any questions then fire away.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Repinning this as we've had a lot of new sign-ups because Reddit shat the bed again.

If you are new feel free to start a new thread in this community and say "hello", especially if you have questions as it'll be easier for everyone else to spot and chip in their twopenneth.

Hi all, I'm new to feddit from Reddit as they are talking about putting up more paywalls for certain content/subs, so I am looking at other alternatives; I'm on iOS.

Is there a feddit that you can ask questions about Feddit, like r/NewToReddit

Is there a Feditt to ask if there are existing feddits, like r/findareddit?

Is there a Feddit to discuss Feddit Apps?

Can I edit/change my username?

Sorry for all the edits & questions, I'm like a kid in a sweatshop, this Voyager App is the closest U.I. to Apollo for Reddit & it feels like I'm using Apollo.

I've brought some Hobnobs with Chocolate on…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I’m like a kid in a sweatshop

Genius.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Is there a feddit that you can ask questions about Feddit, like r/NewToReddit

As you are new you are welcome to ask here (you can start a new thread which would help get more focused advice) but, as well as flamingos' suggestions, ~~I suppose [email protected] or [email protected]~~ would work - they are general communities where folks can ask questions.

I think flamingos has covered the rest.

I’ve brought some Hobnobs with Chocolate on…

You'll fit in just fine.

edit: scratch that, just go with flamingos' suggestions which are now in the community sidebar.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't ask support questions in [email protected], per rule 5:

This is not a support community.
It is not a place for ‘how do I?’, type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I'll scratch that.

I've updated the community sidebar with some of your helpful links. If you can think of others let me know.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Welcome friend! Happy to have you here.

Just a note on terminology, but subreddits are called communities here (hence the c/ in the url), not feddits. Also, the software this place runs is called Lemmy, so most places discussing it will have Lemmy in the name not Feddit. For questions about here there's [email protected] or [email protected], but feel free to ask questions here or on [email protected] and people will normally be happy to help (including myself).

Is there a Feditt to ask if there are existing feddits, like r/findareddit?

[email protected] or you could ask in [email protected] which is more active.

Is there a Feddit to discuss Feddit Apps?

[email protected]. To find apps https://join-lemmy.org/apps has a list of apps with filters for platforms. I'm not an IOS user, but I've heard good things about Mlem.

Can I edit/change my username?

You can't change your username, but you have a setting called 'Display name' which can be changed and will be what shows up in most places, e.g. my username is flamingos but my display name is flamingos-cant which is the name you see.

Sorry for all the edits & questions, I’m like a kid in a sweatshop, this Voyager App is the closest U.I. to Apollo for Reddit & it feels like I’m using Apollo.

I don't user Voyager myself, but I've heard it very good. Certainly can't go wrong with it.

The biscuit debate is fraught with danger.

Let me throw in another one though, Penguins or Tim-Tams? This will get the sparks flying, especially if there are any secret Australians hanging about in the forum.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Stealth Australians?!?! Thanks for the shibboleth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Do tim tams even have jokes?
