i'm sure with the influx of people we have enough of a community for this to be a thread, or at least people who are interested in veganism and vegetarianism and incorporating aspects of the diet/lifestyle into their current life. so yeah, pop off! share your struggles, experiences, good times, recipes, all that kind of stuff
I've been vegetarian for just over a year now, and have no intention of going back to eating meat. The most difficult thing for me is relearning how to cook, I mostly try to find replacements for meat proteins in recipes I already know, so seitan for pork, impossible for ground beef, mushrooms for steak. But my biggest problem is chicken, for the life of me I can't find a good replacement for chicken and my chicken based recipes are (were) some of my favorite comfort foods.
I'm also always learning completely new recipes involving veg and tofu. But I miss my chicken casseroles and chicken enchiladas dang it!
Yeah the Lemmy admins said that they want people to make new instances and such, but if Lemmy were to take off I think what we'll see is reddit communities replicated on the main instance or a currently popular alt instance like beehaw. I'm personally waiting a little bit for my favorite subs to pop up here with alternatives because I don't have the time to mod, but I fully expect them to show up on the main instance if they show up on Lemmy at all.
We are happy to see that many of you are exploring Lemmy after Reddit announced changes to its API policy. I maintain this project alongside @dessalines....
I also lurk a whole lot and thats my biggest issue as well. It looks like a lot of people talk about Lemmy when the topic of migrating from reddit comes up though, im hopeful that it takes off.
Yeah I've also been on Lemmy since before federation, just haven't been active because of the lack of engagement in general. I've considered getting an invite for tildes, I will probably check it out, but most of the other alts are mostly filled with the sort of racists that reddit has been banning the last few years, so Lemmy and tildes are I think the only viable options atm.
I like Lemmy more because personally I'm a fan of shitposting and memes and Lemmy seems to support that more. I hope that the popularity of Mastadon in relation to twitter will help redditors understand what Lemmy is, and they can look past the tankie stuff. There are already instances like beehaw that arent tankie but are pretty popular. I guess I just really hope we can move on from reddit but keep the community that made reddit feel special in the early days.
That is so interesting. I'm not actually on Mastadon yet (still on twitter, I know...) but I can click the fediverse icon on Lemmy on your comment and see this thread on Mastadon, it takes me to sunny.garden which I assume is your mastadon instance. This is really cool lol
That would be really cool to see. I use Newpipe for youtube on my phone and subscribe to Nebula, I would love to see an alt take over the market share that youtube has a stranglehold over
a vegan and vegetarian thread

Hello Ex-Reddit people!
I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it....
Welcome Reddit refugees!
