Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
We’re kicking things off with a space just for vegans! Inspired by our friends over at Hexbear, this thread is the spot to chat about what’s on your mind, what’s happening, and what you’re planning for the week.
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
Got any ideas?
We’re also taking suggestions for essay topics, recommended readings, or any resources that could help each other out. Feel free to drop in links, ask for advice, or contribute any other materials you think would be useful for the community and we can start adding to the megathread.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to and what we can explore together!
Check out our communities:
The communities are here to help share links and photos for vegans by vegans.
Vegan Home Cooks is a site for a discord server called Vegan Home Cooks Discord. This is a low-friction post-what-you-cooked community so we can share what we made today and talk about it, no recipes required. We want to provide motivation and encouragement for each other and show off what we made today.
Vegan Recipes is focused on how to cook and links to recipe sites.
Gardening is focused on our gardens, plants, hydroponics and learning how to do it. Some of us are pros and some are just learning and want to post what we're reading and what we're doing.
Vegan is for general vegan news
Vegan Infographics for vegan infographics and agitprop
Art All things art, preferably by vegans but not required.
Book Club Our sort of monthly book club, we finished reading Fanon but never had our final post. We're going to get that going and do fiction for September/October. Also post about whatever you are reading!
DIY Do it yourself! This is a community to fix our shit.
Our communities are federated with various other servers running software called Lemmy. If you have an account on one of those servers you can still subscribe to our communities from your home server and participate. If you create an account with us you can also view other federated communities across multiple Lemmy servers we are linked up with.
Thanks for visiting our site!

Been feeling the crushing weight of vystopia lately. It's disappointing that almost everyone I know is more interested in their own convenience than justice. Over the last ~7 years I've basically lost interest in maintaining relationships with my non vegan friends (that are left lmao).
Where I live is pretty cliquey and carnist which has made finding meatspace vegan friends hard. Half of those I've met are wishy washy health cheating "vegans" which also sort of suck.
I'm glad my wife and my sisters are all vegan though. At least I do have a few people I'm really close to who understand that there is a difference between right and wrong.
This is so hard. My partner is vegan and I'm grateful for online vegan spaces like this. I went to a local-ish vegan speed friending event more than a year ago and many people were vegetarian 🤮 and/or a cop of some type.
