Welcome to Good News UK! This community exists to try and offset some of the doom-and-gloom on Lemmy in a healthy way.

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.

Harold Terens - a 100-year-old US Army Air Force veteran - called it "the best day of my life" as he married 96-year-old Jeanne Swerlin on Saturday.

On her way to the ceremony, the bride-to-be said: "It's not just for young people, love, you know? We get butterflies. And we get a little action, also."

She also said her sweetheart was the "greatest kisser ever".

The pair married in the town hall of Carentan, a key initial D-Day objective that witnessed fierce fighting after the Allied landings on 6 June 1944.
