I'm re-posting this as I've moved the community to a different server for various reasons, and want to ensure anybody interested is aware.
It's a community for discussion of the UK Freeview TV platform, with a bot which posts channel changes when they happen.

Where was you previously hosted?
Fedia.io (Kbin). With my bot running on Lemmy it made sense to move it so the bot and community were hosted in the same place - the federation wasn't working reliably.
That’s fair. I think Federation should be better when Ernest finishes the kbin API, but nevertheless, good luck on feddit.uk
How’s the bot working out for you? I see you’ve got one ticking over for the Bedfordshire community that seems to be producing a nice trickle of posts through the day - do you decide what gets posted or is it slow news week in Beds?

Oooh, so niche! I’m intrigued :-)
I remember when the UK only had 4 channels, Freeview is like a wild futuristic selection of soooo much stuff!
Granted the picture is often way worse than old terrestrial on a CRT was, due to their modern tight bandwidth allocations, and most of what’s on is absolute drivel, but gosh there’s so much choice! 😮

I remember 3 and when 1 only ran for a few hours a day.
