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.

Lemmy works on markdown, so if you want to do anything, just look up "how to do x in markdown." For example:
https://itsfoss.com/markdown-images/
If you want to learn more generally, there are many guides, e.g.:
https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/
And if you want to play around without other people seeing any mistakes you make, there are multiple web interfaces as well as local editors that will display your works in real time, such as:

Hope this helps!
edit: Also, markdown is fantastic, but its syntax can be confusing or hard to remember. I don't know about all clients, but mine - Connect - has buttons at the bottom of the text entry area to generate the syntax for images (and links). Yours might have something similar.
