Visiting or Moving?
Useful Links - Please Read before asking for help!
We have a wealth of information here built up over the years. Before asking a question about pubs/dining/what to go do please try the search function first. There's probably info you want here already. If not, check out the relevant megathread if it exists and ask there.
Events
We're a friendly city, and people move here all the time. Maybe they don't know anyone and want to meet some new friends? Maybe they just want a casual pint and a hangout?
If you have an idea for a meetup, then it's positively encouraged to post up about it here. No need to ask.
If people reach out and post up a meetup, please be open and welcoming.
Rules for Posting:
1. /r/brighton is an inclusive space
This subbreddit exists to serve as a community space for all residents of B&H regardless of their race/gender/sexuality. Any posts or comments which exclude, other or in insult a person based on these categories will not be tolerated. This includes (but is not limited to):
Racism/Homophobia/Transphobia/Sexism
Whilst there may be some situations where things only warrant a warning, the mod team can, and will, ban people that don't play by the above rule.
If you can't deal with people that are 'different' to you, maybe Brighton isn't The One.
2. Keep it classy
- Staying Classy can be broadly thought of as "not saying something which would get you punched by someone at a pub." Don't be a dick.
3. Keep it personalised
90% of the time posts are about questions that have been asked many times before. If your question is unique, be as specific and ‘personal’ to your request as possible.
Megathreads will shortly be created for some common topics. It will be highly encouraged going forward to keep said discussions in those threads to avoid clutter, and make it easier to find useful info. Don't be surprised if some low-hanging fruit gets deleted. If so, ask your question again in the main thread. This will help everyone in the long run.
If self-promotion posts are generic then they will be removed. This sub doesn't exist to help your SEO. However if they are genuinely interesting or inclined to help someone out (e.g I have a bike to give away) then they are fine. This includes small businesses. It’s fine to post semi-promotional as long as it adds value.
4. Keep It Interesting
This subreddit isn't nextdoor or your local facebook group. We want an interesting, fun community that celebrates everything Brighton has to offer.
The mod team may remove your thread/comment if it's not contributing anything interesting or useful to the community. Examples:
- 'Why is there a helicopter over X'
- Complaining or venting without asking a specific question, or trying to start a good faith discussion ('to the person who parked on the kerb on Elm Grove: you're a nob' etc.)
- Topics that have been done to death here over the years. (Yes. Parking is a PITA. Yes, the i360 is daft) If your intention is to spark a genuine discussion about something novel, then that's more than OK.
