Welcome to Good News UK! What would you like to see posted here?

Hi everyone! I've been thinking of making this community for a while now and finally decided to go ahead with it today.

I think it would be nice to spread a bit of positive energy. A lot of what is posted on Lemmy is doom and gloom, but it's important to strike a balance between educating oneself about the injustices of the world and celebrating the good that humanity can do.

The main question I have right now is, what counts as good news here on feddit.uk? And are there any particular community rules we should implement?

What is good news to me might be bad news to others. Furthermore, a lot of news can be a bit of a mix of both good and bad. I see a lot of comments in other positive/good news communities which are like "actually this isnt good news because...". I don't think we will ever be able to please everyone, unfortunately.

In the sidebar I think it would be a good idea to explicitly state what topics we want people to post about here.

For example, here are some of my personal picks:

• Renewable energy and medical breakthroughs.
• Progress in equal rights for people of colour, immigrants, women, LGBT+ folk, or any other minority groups.
• Progress in restoring nature and the environment.

And, of course, this community should be for news specific to the UK. Communities exist elsewhere for good news elsewhere in the world.
