New Community, I've created some seed posts!
Carnivore - The ultimate elimination diet
Purpose
Rules
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Waauw, the instant downvotes
Even if you don't care about animal welfare this is like making a community for private jets, coal power, or other destructive things.
On top of that it comes across as (or straight up is) a reactionary response to everyone saying meat is unsustainable. Nobody would be talking about carnivore diets if vegans didn't exist.
I personally have had enough of reactionary bullshit and it's a big reason I left Reddit, not gonna buy into the same shit coming here
It is a dangerous diet, people saw through the grift.
Indeed - Carnivores are clearly a underserved minority in the fediverse. That is why I decided to make the community, a safe space for brisket!
At least vegetarian and vegans can block it
That would be a good outcome! some people, however, live to downvote things they don't like - over and over, every day! Oh well, thats life in the fediverse.
I'm actually subbed to multiple vegan/veggie communities - and I only upvote there. I'm mindful it's a safe space for vegans to discuss amongst themselves and I'm thankful I can read and participate.
You sound so spiteful, your arteries are going to get blocked.
You figured me out. Only a spiteful person would downvote the last 20 posts somebody made on social media because they want to eat a different diet.
A stereotype personified
