There is also !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.
- Ah fuc*... I've searched for it, but probably I didn't get the results I wanted... sorry for the duplicate!
  
  Does it make sense to have two identical communities? There are duplicate posts already...
  
  No not really... I will postpone thinking about it to later this day (after sleeping)
  
  I'd keep it. People can subscribe to both, and I often find myself looking for goods in EU stores (aka. not UK, sadly) so I don't have to pay ~30€ handling fee + tax. I know that OSS exists, but it's rarely apparent whether any given online store uses it.
  
  I mean the UK isnt part of the EU and there are significant differences in law and trade stuff so its not a clear cut answer.
  
  Feddit.uk is not just used by brits
  
  Yeah but the community is called buyeuropean not buyEU
  
  This is true. !buyeuropean@feddit.uk is for whole Europe and not just EU (the community logo is bit misleading atm).
  It's of course ok to have a more EU specific community but I personally think Lemmy isn't big enough to have so much fragmentation and incredibly specific communities (yet).
  But we can link to !buyfromeu@feddit.org from our community if OP decides that there is need for EU specific buy-community. Fediverse is free and both communities share the same goal: support closer economies!
  
  The gold stars on a blue background flag is orginally the flag of the Council of Europe of which every country in Europe besides Russia, Belarus and Kosovo are members. That organization is still around today.
  
  Did not know that, interesting!
  
  Lemmy Explorer is a great tool to see if a community already exists :)
  Would you like to become a moderator?
- Looks like a brexit trap
