Just joined yesterday and it seems like these communities are pretty empty. Is there a bigger one somewhere?

Not in absolute numbers but at least until the recent exodus the relative number of vegans here was quite high. But as the other comment said, this is for now the largest.

In proportion I believe we are more here than in more mainstream places like reddit.

I left reddit definitely when a post about how hunting was fun in the japanlife subreddit shows that the majority of it’s user are totally ok with that.

Lemmy, having a better community today is definitely better to have conversations about any topic. Hopefully we won’t have the problem of admins skewing the conversations by biaising the algorithm like in reddit and all the moderators competing to be the worse human being.

I mean, the issue is that most people are ok with that, not just users, but hey. If lemmy is about to grow it would benefit the animals to create a strong vegan culture here from the start

Although, there’s more of us now we’re still sadly a pretty niche community. Theres no reason why we can’t make this a nice little garden to hang out in though :)

I’m vegan. I had started a vegan only instance a while ago, but it didn’t get any traction so I closed it.

That explains why it is now pointing to lemmygrad 😬 Maybe now would be a good time to reopen it if you have a backup laying around.

I don’t, it’d pry be better to build up the community here. And then in the future if there are enough ppl that would like their own one, I could host that for us.
