Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

I find it fascinating that almost half of the world has their own dumpling (ie. a small ball of a cheap source of protein and fat held together by a wrapping of flour dough; a peasant dish that's most often boiled).

I bet if you they would all dispute the origin of that food item.

My point is that US people tend to claim ownership to a lot of things that were not invented there. I'm all for sharing culture and food and transforming them to something new, but don't claim they are your invention.

Like as american as apple pie is an expression for a dish from Germany and the Netherlands.

My point is that nationalism is poisoning society and destroying the ecosystem, and this discussion isn't helping.

Nah, I as an naturalized American citizen I do not want stuff I create to be called "Chinese", its xenophobic. I mean, you can say "Chinese-American" to refer to me but not "Chinese". Cuz why is a white US Citizen creating stuff labeled as "American" while stuff I make is not "American"? Double standards.

If I come up with a new food receipe, its American food. If I make a painting, that's made by an American artist. If I publish a book, that's written by an American writer. Don't fucking try to "other" me.

Meanwhile, German Chocolate Cake has nothing to do with Germany!

It was created by a guy with the last name of German...

The chocolate was made by a man named Samuel German in the 1850s, but recipe for the cake that uses the chocolate was made by a Mrs. George Clay, who sent her recipe into the Dallas Morning News in 1957.

You're literally wrong. A hamburger as a sandwich is a US creation. So is gumbo. Literally do a 2 minute search about it before "thinking" you know what you're talking about. Lol
