This community is dedicated to gluten free and exists to provide support for individuals with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, gluten allergies, and related conditions.
Discuss and share anything from recipes and cooking advice, your favorite restaurants, brands, products, or tips on how to avoid gluten in unexpected areas, such as hair care products, etc.
Please show respect and help each other. Together we will avoid gluten.
This community hasn't really gotten going yet and so far is mainly a collection of recipes.
If someone new was going to make the food off these posts they’d likely get sick
I wouldn't suggest a sparse community on Lemmy to be your #1 source for information on living with Celiac disease, either. If you'd like to see content like that here, why not post some?
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.
won't help someone on a GF diet
Neither will this one? Post stuff yourself, like links to good recipes or a product you use, that's really easy, easier than writing this post which is also pretty obvious.
Hi, Mod here.
Welcome! You mention some good ideas for content. I look forward to your product reviews and FAQ write up for newbies. I hope this community grows to include active discussions and becomes a wealth of info.
All of the existing posts are just fine though. Let’s not discourage anyone from posting and sharing in their own manner such as recipes. It would be great to see more high effort posts of any kind!

If I start a FAQ to pin can we make it editable by others? So it can be a rolling FAQ.
Not sure about other users editing the same post but starting a discussion around GF 101 or "stuff you wish you'd known" could be a good place to begin.
