How do we grow? (self.vegan)

Hi all, thank you for the community and hope you are all doing well.

I feel like the vegan presence on lemmy is quite small compared to what it was on the other site and I’m curious how we can build our community here.

I’ve been vegan for over 7 years and am generally a lurker on sites like this but think that due to all the climate awareness I would rather be the single person “enlightening” others to a different worldview than someone solely upvoting others who have the wherewithal to post and put their voice out there.

Maybe this isn’t necessarily the vibe people like but awareness is everything. What do you think?

i think exposing our best arguments in an accessible way is the best way to grow. In France there is Florence Dellerie who produces great fact sheets, that could be an inspiration https://questionsanimalistes.com/fiches-info/
