Exactly as the title reads. All of these post for the most part seem ripped off the internet like some influencer. Nothing provided in these posts are really useful for people looking to join this community. Which is why it doesn’t have good traction basically none for what it should be.
Where the actual daily use products at? Posts about how to adhere to the diet. FAQ for new GF individuals. List of good brands for items. Ect.
I could make 1 post of 50 items visible in one cabinet that would be more useful to newcomers or veterans of celiac or gluten sensitive people than all these posts combined. Than how to make the food based off these posts. I mean seriously. If someone new was going to make the food off these posts they’d likely get sick. Highly likely. Because they have no idea the process and how to read labels. Deal with cross contamination. I admire the effort. But the standards here a bare minimum. Which is very unfortunate because this could be a huge community.
I will try to post some when I can take photos. While this community is sparse and I get your sentiment its still a link in the chain of resources for a newcomer or veterans alike to learn so it could provide great value. I just think the current posts when a potential new member glances through this community as is. Is off putting and not realistic which greatly hinders the growth. It just comes off as influencer like and unuseful. I’m not hating. Believe me. I’ll get some posts up, I just looked at this community and this was my first post.
I’ve been in the glutenfree and celiac subs on reddit for 5-6 years so I guess I could summarize the types of posts people see there regularly. The two subs are a little different, but there are posts about:
Photos of food and recipes are good to kick it off, and I could share some of my favorites, and favorite GF products that people might not know about, or online suppliers. As far as general tips, I don’t know what would be useful or what people would be interested in, but I can answer questions and certainly commiserate.
Have you considered your post here might run others off because it will negatively influence their perception of what this space could be?
Be the change you want to see. It would have taken less effort to post something useful and positive.
