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.

Are you able to access archive.org from where you are in the UK? (piefed.social)

I've not been able to load the site from a UK IP address since this weekend I think. I can ping it, but browser requests just times out.

Edit: I'm in London BTW.

Works for me. Tested on Virgin Media and EE Mobile in London.

Thanks for your reply.

It's weird, maybe It's my provider who blocked them then. Will try with another DNS provider and see if that solves it.

I couldn't even access my home instance (thelemmy.club) after a server upgrade without changing my DNS. I thought it had shut down until I saw it worked on a VPN. ISPs do weird stuff like that. Try changing your DNS. Archive.org works fine for me, I'm using cloudflare DNS.

Check whether your provider enabled some kind of adult content filter or something like that. Maybe archive.org ended up the blocklist.

[–] recursivepickle@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's a good shout. I'll see if they have anything like that.

Have you checked your parental controls?

Yes, turned off, and my hub is in modem mode (using FreshTomato on an R8000).
