This is our shared table — a space built on kindness, curiosity, and community! Please take a moment to read through these simple guidelines 💛 1️⃣ Be Kind & Encouraging We’re all at different points in our sourdough journey. Speak with warmth and patience. Celebrate wins and lift others up — no harsh criticism, ever. 2️⃣ No “Perfect Loaf” Pressure This isn’t Instagram highlight reel territory — it’s a learning space. Share your real bakes, messy crumbs, and lessons learned. Progress > perfection. 3️⃣ Ask “Why” Often Curiosity drives growth! Don’t hesitate to ask questions — big or small. Every question helps someone else learn too. 4️⃣ Share to Teach, Not to Sell We love sharing knowledge, not sales pitches. Please avoid self-promotion, affiliate links, or unrelated advertising. 5️⃣ Respect the Table No unkind behavior, divisive topics, or language that makes others feel unwelcome. We bake better when everyone feels safe here. If any such behavior is seen or reported, you will be warned once and ONLY once! If such behavior occurs again, you will be banned from the group! 6️⃣ Credit Creators If you share a recipe or method from someone else, give credit. We value learning and integrity. 7️⃣ Keep It Organized Use the right topics for your posts (Starter Support, Baker's Banter, etc.) so others can find and learn from your experience easily. 8️⃣ Celebrate Others Comment on posts, cheer others on, and be generous with your encouragement — community grows when we all contribute. 9️⃣ Share Feedback Gracefully If offering advice, frame it kindly: “Here’s what’s helped me…” instead of “You did that wrong.” 🔟 Enjoy the Process - HAVE FUN🎉 This space is about learning with joy and connection — not rushing results. Sourdough takes time, and so does mastery. Savor both🕊️
