United Kingdom
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.

How are electricity rates set in the UK? Some countries have companies that offer an off peak rate which can be zero during specific hours of the day.
You can get those here, but its normally cheaper overnight when I am not using anything and more expensive during the day when I am. There isn't much I could load shift so it probably isn't worth it.
At some point looking to get solar and maybe a battery, the battery depends on the export rate as if only terrible rates are available it makes more sense to get a battery and possibly even cut off from the grid entirely as you still have a standing charge here even if you use nothing or only send energy back to the grid.
