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.

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.
