As you are new to this. Thought more experienced may want a place to offer friendly advice.

First it is common to post rules for communities in the side bar. Normally just behaivior type things. Look at a few other communities on political parties and use what you feel in appropriate.

As the community grows. You may want to find folks you trust and ask them to help mod the group. This is mainly folks with the authority to delete posts that break said rules. Multiple people help limit the time offensive nsfw or outright advertising like posts (assuming they are rules you want. NSFW is required by feddit.uk as are a few others.) are up and causing issues.

Feddit UK really is a fairly good space people wise, but Any political forum attracts fecal exit points.

Others may have more ideas.

Can the community name be changed once it's created? When they eventually come up with a name then this community will either need to be renamed or migrate to a new one.

The display name can be changed, I don't believe the @feddit.uk can be.

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes and no. The link to a community cannot be changed once created. So this community will always be linked by !yourparty@feddit.uk

But the display name used in community searches etc can be changed.

That said. This is likely to be a common issue for any group discussing the party. Given membership is already growing. (IE paying members rather then just supporters) Although the party is not sharing actual numbers yet.

Their is a need for people to discuss subjects long before the autumn conference and votes on perm name.
