This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

Question... This is from someone who didn't surf Reddit at all, never saw foodporn on reddit. I only used to frequent 2 subs regarding apps I use. From the comments on here it seems foodporn was like high end, artistic professional chef type productions on Reddit. When I first came to this community on Lemmy all I saw in the About sidebar was "Your favorite food in the world!", that's it. No mention of some special presentation, or that it had to be profesional chef style dishes, and that paper plates, fast-food , takeout etc didn't qualify. Is this community supposed to be a recreation of uppity foodporn sub from Reddit? If so wouldn't that be explained in the sidebar? I was taken back by many of the judgemental type comments here, not only about my posts but also towards other people's.

I think your post was mostly well received. I wouldn't worry about it man. Hope you didn't take my comment the wrong way. I don't think lemmy should be/doesn't need to be a reddit clone. Communities will figure themselves out.

OK thanks... Your post was fine, you seemed reasonable that's why I asked... Appreciate it
