Trying to build an online community for cooking, baking, and other food related pursuits.
Hello everyone!! Hopefully this is the right forum to be posting such things.
I go by the name of Zephyr and it's nice to meet everyone here. Like it the topic indicates I'm trying to build an online community for home cooks, bakers, food professionals, and even youtubers. Cooking/baking is my passion and I want a fun and open-minded environment for others to discuss such things freely. That's why I'm here; to find any bakers that might be interested in joining such a place.
I'll try to describe the best features of this community. They are as follows:
- A self-promotion section for those who have a youtube channel, blog, instagram, or business.
- A resources category that I'm slowly growing to be as comprehensive as possible
- A cookbook section that I'm also slowly growing to include highly rated and comprehensive books
- An comprehensive recipe section divided by region of the world and type of dish
Hopefully this sounds interesting to individuals here. If you are interested in joining this community, by all means please ask any questions about it that you might have. Please private message me if you are interested in joining. I hope to hear from you soon.
p.s. Also I can't post the link here unfortunately because at the moment I'm being harassed by someone. I hope everyone understands.
They have a forum for baking already, r/baking, r/oldrecipes, r/food, r/culinary just to name a few. Seems like you are trying to reinvent the wheel here.
I do know about all of the the subreddits. I don't think I am though, I'm trying to make a more social community on discord. Which people think it's not the right place for it, but I'm having quite a good deal of positive feedback from the members who have already joined. I mean if I was making a typical forum I would agree with you. This is more like a collection of resources/cookbooks and a chat room mixed into one. I also have a self-promotion portion for the youtubers and bloggers that are on there. Hopefully when it gets large enough I hope to do community events with the youtubers and the other home cooks.
Funny, as what you're trying to do has already been done and rather well, save for #1, which is why I've been here and not elsewhere. Good luck!
