    ok, I’m not familiar with the Reddit communities that inspired this one, and am here because this was one of the trending communities on the homepage. If not just a meme community, what kind of content would go here? Who is it for? Is it a support group or something?

      Copied this from the other community:

      Welcome to our community. Please read our FAQs first. Meta Welcome to r/dogfree! We invite you to participate in our discussions. First, however, whether you are new to our sub or a dog lover who just doesn’t quite understand where we are coming from, please take the time to read our sub FAQs so you can come to understand our community and the type of content that is appropriate for our small but mightily active corner of the world.

      Why don’t you like dogs?

      Because: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dogfree/comments/7bk3wo/just_curious_what_is_the_reason_why_you/

      I created a post asking why you don’t like dogs. Where did it go?

      We receive and remove this question just about daily. This is our community’s space to vent and commiserate about an unpopular opinion, not a place where we come to feel burdened with the task of having to justify ourselves constantly. If you would like to know why we don’t like dogs, you may read the link above and/or put some time and effort into browsing our sub.

      sub.

      It seems like the problem you all have is really more with dog owners. So you really do like dogs, just not irresponsible owners, right?

      Our opinions are varied. However, true to the name of our sub, and though it might be a tough pill to swallow, we in this sub simply don’t like dogs.

      If your gripes are more about dog owners and not about dogs themselves, r/dogculturefree might be a better fit for you.

      I like dogs. Can I participate here?

      Please understand the intent of this sub. It is a place for people who dislike dogs and who unapologetically wish to be free from them in our everyday lives to commiserate, not for those who love dogs. Posts and comments mentioning that you love or own dogs fall out of line with the spirit of the sub.

      I figured this community could do what both r/dogfree and what r/dogfreehumor does — so, serve the two purposes in the same space?

      Thanks for stopping by.

      Nah I’ve been to dogfree, there’s always some weirdos but mostly people who have had traumatic experiences with dogs / are uncomfortable with them / other and disliked how they are forced everywhere in western cultures. I’ve gotten over my fear of dogs, but I remember it could my life hell

      Not a meta gag, lost Lemming.

      This is not your place.

              Well, I’ve made one attempt to let interested parties know of this community here but I don’t see much hope of getting converts to Lemmy.

              The sun isn’t necessarily about hating dogs — it’s a place where people can simply share their experience being dog free. It can be challenging to be dog free.
