An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
  2. No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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

It is difficult, don't get down on yourself. I think I had the typical vegan journey: carnist > veggie (with mistakes and setbacks) > vegan (with mistakes and setbacks) > vegan

And now I see animal products the same way you see meat: it's just not food. It can be difficult to get there, but once you do it won't be "the takeaway doesn't have vegan options so I'll have the veggie," it'll be "the takeaway doesn't do any edible food"
