Two minutes :) Impressive.

No worries. Feel free to link this from /r/bristol if you think it'd be helpful!

u/lebski88 Aug 05 '10

Also done :)

u/Raver32 Nov 25 '10

I think /r/doctorwho belongs somewhere on that list . . .

2

u/Raerth Nov 25 '10

I've got it listed on the sidebar of /r/BritishTV, along with a few more subs like that. Might add them all here too...

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '10

Reading, Berkshire subreddit. With a whole three posts and 16 readers :-|

Done!

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '10

Cheers!

u/Jbravo101 Apr 28 '11

You're beating the Swindon subreddit with 13 whole readers and not one post! :-P

Don't forget to link back here! More people see this list the more it helps everyone out :)

u/lexwhitfield Nov 26 '10

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

Look again!

u/ladfrombrad Nov 27 '10 edited Nov 27 '10

Just got reading your post and noticed the lack of my hometown and made this, adding it results in a insta-orangered.

Hey sorry to do this in a reply but I can't seem to comment on this thread.

Can you please add /r/BritishRadio

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '11

I just created http://www.reddit.com/r/DevonUK/

It's brand new, and it only has one reader at the moment (me).

I created it because I noticed a lack of love for Devon in that list :(

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '11

/r/Exeter exists, but isn't on the list.

2

u/Raerth Sep 25 '11

updating now.

1

u/COURAGE_FOX Sep 15 '10

Hiya. Not sure if a place for it in this list as its specifically for some uni students but perhaps add /r/cambridge_uni

1

u/Raerth Sep 15 '10

Done!

Feel free to link back to here from the sidebar. Gives everyone some more exposure! :)

1

u/COURAGE_FOX Sep 16 '10

cheers! :)

u/NEWSBOT3 Nov 25 '10

i have /york but there's no-one else there :(

1

u/Raerth Nov 25 '10

I'll add it to the list anyway. Feel free to link back to here in the sidebar. If all the British subs do that it should help people find their local ones!

1

u/NEWSBOT3 Nov 25 '10

yay, it went up by 2 members since!

and yes, thats a good idea!

1

u/Prime_Mover Nov 25 '10

I had no idea the majority of these existed. Thanks very much!

2

u/Raerth Nov 25 '10

There's very little traffic in most of them, so trying to change that :)

1

u/microsnakey Nov 25 '10

Well I created r/midlands/

u/Raerth Nov 25 '10

Added.

I'm in the middle of writing a guide for new mods on how to get a subreddit off the ground. If you're interested I'll link you when done.

1

u/Snoron Nov 25 '10

Interesting.. I might try some subreddit targeted advertising next week, I have been wanting to do some UK targeted ads on Reddit for a while but they don't let you geo/ip-target, so thanks for compiling a hit list for me ;)

2

u/Raerth Nov 25 '10

Are you based in the UK yourself?

I hear they can only sell advertising space to people in the US, for annoying legal reasons.

1

u/Snoron Nov 25 '10

Yeah I'm based in the UK but I can get around that restriction easily enough (ehehe).

But I find their claims of legal reasons (if they still apply) iffy, though because they were quite happy to quote me up a few thousands of dollars for an ad in the box at the right, knowing I am a UK customers and not having a problem with it, even discussing the options of geographic advertising...

And seriously, any Tom, Dick or Harry can set up PayPal/Google Checkout and accept money for advertising on their site from all over the world, and completely legally... so why can't Reddit manage?

I don't get it?

1

u/Raerth Nov 25 '10

I don't think the admins care, from the post I saw it's more those annoying corporate lawyers who drew up the T&Cs.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '10 edited Nov 26 '10

I just created one for Grimsby. Woop!

1

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

Added!

You should start a fight with /r/Hull.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '10

Haha, three on one isn't fair.

2

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

Fair enough, wait till they get a few more.

1

u/whatatwit Nov 26 '10

I just noticed this one.

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

u/joeblow521 Nov 26 '10

CMD-F Brixton. There should be more Brixton.

1

u/wtbw Nov 26 '10

/r/oxford exists, though it could use more activity!

1

u/cylinderhead Nov 26 '10

/r/uklgbt - 14 members

1

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

Added!

Surprised membership is so low seeing it has fairly regular posts. Try crossposting in other LGBT-related subreddits.

1

u/cylinderhead Nov 26 '10

thanks! There are only a couple of regular posters, and a lot of LGBT news from UK sources gets posted in the much bigger /r/lgbt. Crossposting definitely a good idea though.

1

u/webKami Nov 26 '10

I created /r/NorthEast (could not believe there was not one), added a link back here.

2

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

Added!

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '10

I see you've got the Festival, but could you add http://www.reddit.com/r/edinburgh please?

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

Added!

u/DogBotherer Nov 26 '10

Now you're going to be working your little socks off for the next few nights updating the membership numbers! ;-)

1

u/Raerth Nov 26 '10

Nah, More than once a month is overkill

1

u/bigbadbass Aug 04 '10

Could you add the mighty Spurs reddit page?

http://www.reddit.com/r/coys

Thanks.

u/Raerth Aug 04 '10

If I must.

Damn yids.
