First ever post, so I hope this is structured OK and hello to all fellow Lemmy migrants! Anyway, here's my question: is there a UK News community? I've found world news and of course CasualUK, but it'd be great to have a community focused on genuinely important headlines of the days with a focus on my home nation. Am I missing something obvious or isn't there such a thing on Lemmy.world just yet? I'm still just fumbling my way around.

We usually throw news in 'United Kingdom', with CasualUK being for.... ranking crisp flavours and the sort.

For various degrees of serious news:

Great, thank you

I did bring this up previously.

My thinking was:

News:

  • Serious - UK News
  • Less serious - And Finally

General:

  • United Kingdom
  • Casual UK

However, we may be moving to a new instance, so I'd recommend holding off until this is resolved.

As a Boost user, would I be able to access the alternate instance? I'm assuming (hoping) that the answer will be "yes", but haven't needed to do that yet.

There isn't one yet but we're in the early stages of planning. We still hope Tom will return and save us the considerable hassle.
