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.

Morning all. Unsure where to post this, so here I am...

Anyone here on Virgin Media having difficulty accessing Lemmy content (I'm on lemmy.world)?

Started a couple of days ago, tested with my pi-hole off so I know its not that. The only way I can access is mobile data.

Cheers.

Back when I was last on VM, I remember they had the adult site blacklisting switched on by default. I can't imagine why Lemmy would be falling foul of that, but maybe that's the issue?

It's possible...The list tends to work in a knee-jerk way. If something abhorrent was reported on the platform, it's possible they blocked the lot.
It's also possible it got flagged as porn, and OP has the default grot-filter enabled (it is by default).
