Hello all, Until such time that Lemmy's user growth is at a point that it can support some of the smaller, niche cooking communities, these communities will be locked. We are asking that users sub to !cooking@lemmy.world until such time that these communities can be reopened. Thank you!

Hello again, After getting some feedback on what we should do to help our culinary communities growth in the form of a potential "merger", we have some options and would like each community to vote on the next step. This ballot will be posted and pinned on [!recipes](https://lemmy.world/c/recipes), [!food](https://lemmy.world/c/food), [!cooking](https://lemmy.world/c/cooking), and [!askculinary](https://lemmy.world/c/askculinary), as those are the communities we're looking to combine. Below are comments corresponding to each vote decision. **Please vote by upvoting one of the comments below.** Downvotes will be ignored. This post will be left up for a week or until consensus is decided. --- Additional info: If option 1 or 2 get picked, !cooking@lemmy.world will be a catch-all so to help organize, we will be implementing tagging posts. Since Lemmy does not have built in tagging yet, we will be requiring posts to be tagged in the title. For example a post title could be: [RECIPE] Beef Stroganoff or [QUESTION] If you had to eat only one culture's cuisine for the rest of your life, what would you choose? The community sidebar will have a list of all approved tags and we will be tweaking this as we go along. Tagging may be implemented on some communities regardless of merging or not. No matter which direction we go, the other more niche communities such as [!bbq](https://lemmy.world/c/bbq), [!sousvide](https://lemmy.world/c/sousvide), and [!koreanfood](https://lemmy.world/c/koreanfood) will be left as they are, though we encourage users to post in both !cooking as well as the more niche communities. (We are looking into possible automating this, but there are some obstacles to think about. If this becomes a possibility, we will pin a post to discuss this further) This should limit the amount of duplicate posts and if users still feel there are too many duplicates in their feeds, they can unsub from the niche community and still see the same content, that is if everyone takes part in posting to all relevant communities. [!FoodPorn](https://lemmy.world/c/foodporn) will remain it's own thing as a showcase of food photos. The mods of that community will have final say on what gets posted there. Food photos are still encouraged in all other communities, but additional information may be needed depending on what community it is. See sidebars of each for content rules.
Hello again! So we, the food and cooking community mods, have been discussing merging a few of the communities together. We're pretty fractured at the moment and we don't really have the userbase to support so many niche communities so we're looking at merging some. We previously pinned a post asking users to cross-post to relevant communities and some of the feedback we received is some don't like this as it can clutter their feeds. Also there were many suggestions of merging until we get more growth and can support more nice communities. So the plan would be to merge [!askculinary](!askculinary@lemmy.world), [!bbq](!bbq@lemmy.world), [!cooking](!cooking@lemmy.world), [!food](!food@lemmy.world), and [!recipes](!recipes@lemmy.world). This would combine a lot of the more general food communities into one and hopefully we reduce cross posting as well as grow users and content. Later, if we have a larger userbase that can support more niche communities, we can spin them off again. So, before moving forward with the merge, we wanted to make sure you all are aware of the plans as well as get some feedback on this decision. So please let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks! EDIT: To explain how this would work, we have a couple options: 1) Lock all the niche communities and leave a pinned post pointing to the main Food community. Later we may reopen them once the userbase grows to support them. 2) Leave all communities open and cross post from the niche communities to the main one. So when you post a recipe to !recpies@lemmy.world, it would get crossposted to !food@lemmy.world. !food@emmy.world would be a catch all if you wanted the "fire hose" approach. Or you can sub to the niche communities you want.

  Still experimenting with multiple images here.. anyway.. After having some delicious pinwheels at some social event, my girlfriend and I have been on a kick making these. Ingredients are, in order: - Wrap - Sauce mix of truffle mayo, grain mustard, and for me - some hot sauce - Lettuce - Turkey slices, and ham slices - White cheddar - ROLL! We're still working on ways to make this process easier. She tends to just cut hers in half and eat it as a wrap. The pre-chopped lettuce probably makes this harder to roll instead of using large leafs. This one fell apart as I was rotating the wheels sideways for photos (hence the attempt!). I ate the evidence before the shot.
