Lemm.ee is going offline at the end of this month, which means we need to move the community

I looked at piefed.social, but their community migration only works if there was a subscriber, which there wasn’t so they don’t have any content to “take over”.

I think dubvee.org makes the most sense, the administration and the auto-mod has been great for the !ketogenic@dubvee.org community

Names - Should we take this opportunity to change the community name?

The world Carnivore can be triggering for some people, and it is a little confusing with people who like to eat meat as part of a high carb diet. We could try some other options

  • zerocarb
  • nocarb
  • animalbasedfoods
  • abf

I’ve thought a different name may have saved some of our moderation headaches in the past, but the Carnivore word is the term used by the zero-carb community at large.

I’m open to thoughts and options, any input is welcome.

For the moment my default plan is to move to dubvee.org keeping the same carnivore name.

    For me it was that low carb wasn’t working (it was too hard),

    Isn’t that so weird? me too. I started keto, thought Carnivore was crazy, on keto I could eat some normal stuff… but it was so hard to do correctly. Now that I’ve gone full carnivore, I realize how easy it is and how difficult keto is to do correctly.

    On keto i had a constant battle of going in and out while trying new foods, recipes, restaurants. Ohh, this sausage has hidden carbs, but this sausage is ok… its just hard mode.

      It’s funny. I recall on Reddit interactions with people promoting carnivore. You’d say something about protein targets and they’d say “or don’t worry about targets, eat enough meat and you’ll have enough”

      Steffansons book (the fat of the land) was the straw that broke the camels back for me

      Low carb was hard in the yo-yo diet way

        This is pure truth. Keto works, it worked for me, solved some major issues, but I was always yo-yoing.

        You’d say something about protein targets and they’d say “or don’t worry about targets, eat enough meat and you’ll have enough”

        It sounds so simple its crazy. What clicked for me is one of the low carb down under lectures - ‘The body is a amazing homeostasis machine, if you listen to it you will be fine’. If your hungry - eat, if your thirsty - drink, the body will take care of the rest. it’s so simple.
