In my humble opinion, and this is just a personal suggestion and not a criticism of how you manage your community:
Tag enforcement is a useful feature when there is an abundance of content and users need to filter out the relevant information from the noise. However, it can also discourage some people from contributing if they feel pressured or annoyed by the tag requirements.
Finding the sidebar on some mobile apps can be challenging for some apps making it difficult to even get the list of acceptable tags adding tags to their posts.
I would recommend that you encourage and recommend tags, but refrain from pestering or threatening to delete posts that do not have them, unless it becomes a serious problem for the community.

Definitely agree with this. And the goal is exactly that, filtering and organizing. I think whenever Lemmy implements tagging or flairs, it will be less invasive, while still having the same effect.

This is a good point, will probably copy the info into this post until we can come up with a better solution.

I think I speak for the other mods as well in saying we are all pretty laid back about modding. We don’t want this to turn into Reddit and we understand Lemmy is in growing stages. There are some hard and fast rules, like posts must be food/cooking related, but we’re not going to go crazy with a banhammer or removing good content just because it’s not tagged properly. I wish we had the ability to edit posts and just add them ourselves to make it easier on everyone. And in this early stage we are hoping tags get added organically and we always want to be updating with the best approaches. I will reword the sidebar to be less “threatening”. We don’t want users to feel like it’s us against them at all. You should see us all in the comments a lot because we love talking food and we’re not here to just be mods.
So really appreciate the feedback and feel free to add suggestions if you think there’s a better way. We want to be as transparent as possible and take community input at every step we can. That’s why we did the vote instead of just making the changes. We’re here for the community first and I hope that shows in our actions. Thanks!
I think this is a great decisien, even though it might be a hard one. I hope other communities follow your way as a scattered community helps less than a united.
Please tag your post. It will be removed if left untagged for an extended time.
Posts in this community must be food/cooking related and must have one of the “tags” below in the title.
We would like the use and number of tags to grow organically. For now, feel free to use a tag that isn’t listed if you think it makes sense to do so. We are encouraging using tags to help organize and make browsing easier. As time goes on and users get used to tagging, we may be more strict but for now please use your best judgement. We will ask you to add a tag if you forget and we reserve the right to remove posts that aren’t tagged after a time.

It depends on your skill level and whether replacement parts are available. Based on the way you asked the question and the general throw away nature of most consumer goods I would guess the answer for you is no.
It probably could be repaired, but you might be looking at replacing components on an electronics board or replacing specific components that have gone bad. This would require the ability to troubleshoot and root cause the issue before figuring out how you can repair it.
This is different from the sweet potato casserole recipe that I use from ATK. Mine has you bake the potatoes first. It’s in the make-ahead book I have from like 15 years ago.
The first one. The potatoes should be completely cooked. Some of them might get mashed just from being handled, but most of them should still have their shape.
You can make it either way depending on your preference. By default they will be chunky, but you certainly could mash them before adding tte topping and baking.
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt of serious eats is probably my current fav. I like how he takes the scientific method approach to testing different ways of cooking something with only one thing adjusted, for a true test. And the write ups for the recipes are usually pretty insightful unlike a lot of the other ones I’ve come across. As far as a bigger celebrity chef Ramsay is always entertaining to watch.
This is not necessarily a long term thing, but as the holiday season creeps up, things like ‘favorite utensils’ posts might gain some traction for people looking for gift ideas.
ooo I got one for ya - got this for my mother, it’s both a utensil (sort of) and a gift idea. so difficult to shop for my folks, they dont “need” things anymore. anyway --> apple peeler/coring machine
Chowhound used to have a Dish of the Month which was fun. Lemmy has 52 weeks of baking but I think a week is too short, it doesn’t have much traction. For me most of their topics are not interesting either, I think the current one is ‘Piping’.
Thank you, this is a great idea. If we can get a good amount of recipes posted, I’d like to highlight a “recipe of the month” type thing as well. Thanks for the feedback!
