As of yesterday, when trying to load feddit.uk on my mobile device, I consistently get a ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR response, but not on a desktop device.

I’ve tried switching to using a VPN rather than my home network, and get the same result. I’ve also tried switching to using mobile data rather than using my wifi network with the same.

I have attempted to load in the DuckDuckGo browser and in the Google Chrome browser on android.

Has anyone else had this or is this down to my device somehow?

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Young Brits are set to benefit from Dutch style employment support as the Government steps up localised support to tackle rising NEET numbers.

• Government to open almost 180 Dutch-style Youth Hubs over next two years to tackle rising youth unemployment as nation’s NEET number hits one million

• Visting the Netherlands, the Work and Pensions Secretary saw how Dutch ‘Jongerenpunt’ youth points are bringing services under one roof, helping them record Europe’s lowest NEET rate

• Secretary of State vows to learn from the Netherlands’ approach where young people are given multiple chances through work-study pathways, employer partnerships and apprenticeships to build a system where “inactivity is a last resort”

They’re not loading for me on Jerboa, either on home WiFi or mobile data. On the site, they’re taking ages to load and may not be thumbnails

Just pointing this out, I appreciate all of the work the admin(s?) do 🙂

Join the Pledge to boycott lemmy.world!

🏴‍☠️ Hoist the Black Flag: Pledge to Boycott Lemmy World!

… if Lemmy World dares to defederate from any ship in the Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla - https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/, https://anarchist.nexus/, and https://quokk.au/.

---

Mateys, we can’t let a mega‑instance captain bully the rest of the fleet just because their ship’s bigger. If Lemmy World tries to throw the FAF overboard, we’re calling for a show of solidarity: a fediverse blockade of Lemmy World in response, until the landlubbers see reason (i.e., there is an acceptable change in their leadership and/or this policy).

This is about mutual aid, not mutiny - standing together so no single admin gets to rule the seas unchallenged. A united armada of smaller instances can absolutely blunt Lemmy World’s outsized influence (and, let’s be honest, their ego).

---

☠️ A word to the captains: before hoisting colours or locking in a course, we ask ye to let your crew have their say. Run a poll, open the deck for discussion, and listen to the voices aboard your vessel. These seas belong to all of us, and decisions that shape our fediverse should be made together, not from the captain’s quarters alone.

If other captains be keen to chart this course with us, drop anchor and make the pledge public in the comments. The more hands on deck, the harder it is to sink any one of us. Let us know if you are holding a vote!

dbzer0 and AN members can vote on this pledge in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and quokk.au will be holding their own vote.

🏴‍☠️ Solidarity forever, and fair winds to the Flotilla!

From the blurb: “We looked into how one of the most powerful surveillance companies in the world is being handed sweeping access to your NHS data - quietly and without your consent.”

According to the British Horseracing Authority, modern steeplechase races have an average of just over 4 equine fatalities for every 1,000 horses taking part in a race.[1] The Aintree Grand National yielded 7 equine fatalities out of 439 horses taking part between 2000 and 2010, a rate of almost 16 equine fatalities per 1,000 horses taking part (or 0.64 fatalities per race of 40 horses). In the five years to 2023, the fatality rate has risen by one-third, averaging 25 equine fatalities per 1,000 horses taking part (or one fatality per race of 40 horses).[2][3]

How many d’ya reckon this year? I have this crazy friend who says it’s wrong to exploit horses to make money and entertain drunken gamblers. Is he crazy?

I’ve seen an uptick of users from here, I heavily suspect them all to be AI bots. They are flooding !casualuk@feddit.uk

I say “investigate” because I’m not 100% sure.

@flamingos@feddit.uk tagging you like this is some form of jira ticket xd

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other “ActivityPub” software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on feddit.uk, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!

What is Feddit.uk

Feddit UK is a UK specific instance of Lemmy, ideal for people from the UK or are just interested in following the UK community.

This instance is hosted by me Tom, an experienced software dev based in London. I decided to host Feddit UK as I saw many instances already made for other countries and none for the UK and saw the need for a UK community on the Fediverse. To help the upkeep cost of this instance, please consider donating by buying me a coffee!

Why Feddit

Feddit comes from the combination of the words Fediverse and Reddit. Lemmy is a new alternative to Reddit based on the Fediverse!

• No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or xenophobia
• No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
• No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
