More information will be added soon.

What can be posted in Good News UK?

Currently we are still figuring out what classifies as “good news” in this community, so for now feel free to post whatever you think qualifies as good news so long as it doesn’t break the instance/community rules.

Our only requirement at the moment is that posts are UK-specific.

What if I think a post isn’t Good News?

Good News UK is intended to be a community of nuanced discussion and education moreso than a community for excessive unfounded optimism.

Most good news comes with some elements of bad news or things that can be done better. We request that you post mindful and detailed challenges on the post itself in these cases if it doesn’t otherwise break the instance/community rules.

Low-effort, unproductive, and unhelpful comments which challenge whether or not something classifies as good news are discouraged and such comments may be removed.

Cross-Posting

Cross-posting is allowed. We encourage you to post content in communities such as [email protected] and [email protected] first and then cross-post here after a few days.
