FoodPorn
Welcome to a little slice of culinary heaven where we share photos of our favorite dishes, from savory succulent sausages to delicious and delectable desserts. Made it yourself? We'd love to hear your recipe!
Rules:
1. BE KIND
Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.
2. NO ADVERTISING
This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.
3. NO MEMES
4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD
Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca

No offense meant, but if we don't have enough active contributors to make the /c/foodporn community active, what good is fragmenting a fledging community and losing the visibility gained from posting in one area with high traffic?
Surely the strategy here should be to build a critical mass of followers in one community, then split into category specific communities based on feedback from the users on what is or is not desired. Organic growth into multiple topics vs splintering a community that's basically my food plus or minus a half dozen posts a week. Someone wining that they get no traffic doesn't really incentive me to post in their communities.
I have the same feeling.
We have experienced everyone creating their obscure communities for the last few months, but it is obvious that due to the size of Lemmy, only communities which are generic enough can get enough traction to survive
It's a political thing.
This post has me seriously considering no longer contributing to any communities.
Edit: Mods can read the original messages, right?
I have no idea about the politics, I think you have to admit that the food communities have not transferred from Reddit. Even the pizza subs are kinda dead. Maybe it will just take time, or maybe they won't find traction here. Idk, but I know I'm not going back to the other place. Hopefully it happens here, if it doesn't, then I will randomly post into the void about random projects.
Sorry I’m late to respond, been under the weather as well as visiting family recently. I’m one of the mods of !recipes@lemmy.world, !sousvide@lemmy.world, and !koreanfood@lemmy.world.
I do agree with that strategy, but I don't think there's any going back at this point. When the migration happened, people all over Lemmy created the same communities and some took off, some didn't. Most of our culinary communities weren't created during this time, but later when we found a topic we wanted to have a community around. I think also, most of our communities are generic enough to where the only next step in merging would be to just stick everything under !food@lemmy.world (I see that community has been abandoned as well).
I don't understand your logic on this. You don't have to pick one community and ignore the others. Be part of them all and contribute where it fits. No one is saying you have to stop posting in one because it fits the other more. Post in all of them where it's relevant. And if some communities die off, then that's fine. It's all an experiment in my eyes.
You said no offense meant, and then decided to be negative in your last sentence, but to respond to this; No one is whining, we are just doing what we can to be inclusive. We are just trying to help eachother out and hopefully we all grow. I don't know what your other post about it being political was about and I don't know what you're finding so negative about us sharing eachothers communities. None of us are complaining. We're just trying to spread awareness of other communities and hope that everyone takes part and Lemmy can grow to be a fun place to be.
