[UPDATE 11/16/2023]: LW admin AvaddonFC has confirmed that photos of your grows are allowed.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to make sure we are all up to speed on this community's rules. /c/Shrooms was reopened on the condition that we enforce LW's TOS. Feel free to post your questions here or shoot me a PM.

Our community rules as they currently stand:
1. Follow the Lemmy World Terms of Service.
2. Be helpful.
3. No trading of anything here. (See rule 1.)
4. Do not post about vendors. (See rule 1.)
5. No Irrelevant Content.
6. No instructions on how to grow or where to source materials.

~~I know that rule 6 is a bit broad and potentially vague. I have messaged an admin for clarification and will update this post when I receive a response. For now, I believe it's best to air on the side of caution and remove all posts about growing.~~

I totally agree with you. [email protected] is the closest comparable community to ours, and the admins there have apparently given the green light for such topics.

Some topics that I don't believe break LW rules:

  • Hunting for wild mushrooms
  • General discussions about mushrooms that don't involve production or sale.
  • News articles
  • Activism
  • Trip experiences

This is by no means a list of "approved" topics that you have to stick to. I'm just trying to demonstrate that there are a lot of possible discussions around the topic of magic mushrooms that do not involve the sale or cultivation. My only job is to keep illegal shit off here and to keep things civil. Other than that I want this to be a place of open discussion. But if anyone feels that the rules are too restrictive, then I understand if you seek greener pastures. And that's the beauty of the fediverse, anyone who stays will still be able to post to and interact with other mushroom communities.
