This has actually happened to me a couple of times now and I have no idea what the subs the OP's are talking about. Since they're assuming everyone else is in the instance and they don't say the name, it's just like,

Awww yeah man I'm SO stoked to be here today in this lovely place, I mean can you just believe how niche and small this spot is but wow I just can't believe this spot that has a name that I just am so bewildered to be in I'm not even going to say it!

Like, of course they wouldn't, why would they need to they're there making the post!

But then on my end... it's [email protected]'s thread inside Random with 4220(lit) subscribers... Just what niche sub are we in?! PlaidBarons?

Same for me, saw it in trending when I think there was maybe one post here?

I do wonder how trending works, as at the moment it seems to favor brand-new communities, often with no posts and low single digit subscribers. I think having some automated highlight of new communities is great, but that's not really what I imagine for "trending".

I'm not subscribed, I just randomly saw this when browsing ALL. I'm vaguely curious to try eating dandelions, just because they're so common. Is there a good beginner recipe for dandelions, or you just pick them and eat them straight from the ground? Can you eat the stem or just eat the flower? Can you prepare it as a Dandelion Salad? What kind of dressing goes good with it?

It's the leaves that are used for salads and such, like arugula, basically. Flowers are usually used in teas afaik.

I've had dandelion leaves boiled (to soften them) and then sautéed in oil, garlic, red pepper, and some other herbs. Honestly they were way way better than I was expecting, a kind of unexpected but not unpleasant flavor. My regular grocery store sells dandelion greens though.

Just dont pick the really big leaves. They can get really bitter, like a lot of greens. You kind of have to err on the smaller side if you want to minimize that. If you like bitter greens, on the other hand, go for it.

Found myself here from lemmy.world All categories, from the Dandelion Cream Pie post.

I'm not much of a cook, but I do enjoy learning things related to survival, which includes what plants are edible.
