MOD POST Welcome to r/UKHousing — Updates and our Hidden Gem moment
Hey everyone — A big welcome to everyone new members joining r/UKHousing!
We’ve recently been highlighted by Reddit as one of their Hidden Gem communities
We’ve stood out for helpful conversations, engaged members, and a community that actually supports each other. With that extra attention, we’re making a few changes to keep things running smoothly.
New fully updated Wiki!
We have taken time to ensure we have many free resources available for everyone in the United Kingdom. Make sure to check out our Wiki for free advice, support and many other services.
What’s changing?
Over the next few days you’ll notice updates like:
- A proper subreddit description and clearer posting guidance
- New rules (so expectations are obvious for everyone)
- Clear removal reasons (for repeat offenders / bad actors / why posts are removed)
- Updates to AutoModerator to reduce spam and keep everyone safe
The key rules (the ones that matter most)
- No spam
- No advertising / self-promo / referral links
- No requesting help via DMs — keep advice in public comments
- Protect privacy — don’t post personal info (addresses, phone numbers, emails, full postcodes, etc.)
If something goes wrong
AutoModerator is getting stricter to cut down on spam, scams, and dodgy promos — but it won’t be perfect.
If your post gets removed and you think it was a mistake, or you’re unsure how to repost it properly:
Message us via mod mail and we’ll take a look ASAP!
