As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, “11 Best Sesame Substitutes,” and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and immediately got some decent answers.

I really hate that I have to do that to get anything useful, but there is a ridiculous amount of useful information on Reddit. I hope the fediverse gets to this point as well one day.

Anway, just needed to vent. Lemmy on.

      Haha no worries! I am allergic to a lot of foods, and there’s no way you could have known. I’m actually also allergic to chickpeas, too 😂 so I make hummus out of white beans and/or fava beans. Tastes very good.

      I was originally curious because I thought it might be fun to start a supper club for people with food allergies. Sesame allergies are very common.
