While other people have answered your direct question, I think it’s important to think about it from a slightly more abstract POV as well.
A lot of people left reddit because they were unhappy with being forced off of 3rd party apps. Lemmy provides a fundamentally different (from reddit) mechanism to protect against that sort of centralised overreach: federation. It’s also one of the unique qualities which differentiates us from reddit.
If any instance becomes the de facto standard, as lemmy.world is dangerously close to being, it compromises the strength of havung federated communities.
It’s in all users best interest to avoid centralisation tendencies, and most people would be better suited spending a little time to consider which instance they are best aligned with, and moving to that instance instead of just joining the most popular instance.

Kinda inspiring TBH. No matter how bad things get, at least I’m not driving around in a wheeled garbage can.

It’s true. All the hamster furries run in big wheels to keep the tube pressure up and the packets flowing.

The gluten doesn’t have a very strong flavour on its own (it basically tastes like unflavoured bread) but it picks up whatever you season it with very well. The recipe I make goes for a typical poultry seasoning with nooch and veggie broth. The stuffing is very umami with a little brightness from the lemon. It’s very yummy.
Here’s the recipe I use for the roast:

And I make the gravy from this recipe:
rabbitandwolves.com/vegan-crispy-black-pepper-cau…
(Which incidentally is also a very good vegan holiday recipe in its own right!)
You might have trouble finding vital wheat gluten. I’d recommend checking either health food or bulk stores, or just buying it online. Everything else should be pretty easily accessible.
While you can make the recipe with the wash-the-flour method from regular flour, it’s already a bit of a challenging recipe, and you have to tweak quite a few things to get the proper wet:dry ratio, so I wouldn’t recommend it, especially for your first try.

- Comment on Do you know what people mean when they ask - “know what I mean?” 4 weeks ago:
Usually, yes, but sometimes no. If not and it’s important or I’m curious I’ll ask for clarification. But sometimes I have no idea what they mean, and I’ll say yes because I don’t want them to get frustrated explaining it or it really just isn’t important.
(And then there are the rare cases when I didn’t think it was important, but it was, so now I’m panicking trying to text them when I really need that info…)

- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 weeks ago:
My last time talking to them, they were arguing that the use of the word “exploitation” in the vegan society’s definition of veganism simply meant “use” because that’s a thesaurus entry for exploitation. When their argument breaks down they go full on “words are just invented”.
- Comment on and we thought our thing with beans was bad 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, thank you for the clarification. Re-reading my comment, I realise I didn’t do a very good job of expressing this, as I didn’t mean to imply V@LW was a community for debate. Just that a polite question might be fine there, so long as it comes from a genuine desire to learn, instead of trying to make an opening to disagree.

!vegan@lemmy.ml specifically disallows debate style posts. Your best bet is probably either !askvegans@lemmy.ca or !vegan@lemmy.world

When I was a young vegling, I spent some time doing “outreach” on r/DebateAVegan (air quotes because it often felt about as impactful as having a wank), and you’d see those bingo arguments being used ALL THE TIME.
I actually did occasionally get some fairly novel and thought provoking stuff, from time to time, but mostly it was explaining the basics of biology or econ to people like in OP’s example.

Ah yes. That one is the one where every interlocutor happens to only eat meat “from their uncles farm with 3 cows on 40 acres of pasture, where they’re hand-scrubbed by cherubs while eating figs.”

Ah yeah, I’ve had some interactions with that anti-vegan user before, and let me tell ya, if you want to speedrun vegan bingo… ideal discussion partner right there.
