Pet Discussion Group - sh.itjust.works
sh.itjust.works
This is a community aimed at people who want to talk about their pets, not just see pictures. Cats and dogs are likely to be the main focus, but any household pet can be included, so feel free to post about your gerbil, tortoise or hedgehog if you have one! The main rules are that posts must be related to pets and that the focus is on discussion. Posts can include photos, as long as that is not the sole purpose of the post. There will be a pinned post for people who want to introduce themselves and their pets where general photos can be put in the comments.

    I disagree with this rule. Please retract it. If someone just wants to post pictures of their pets, I want to see those pictures. It doesn’t have to be the only acceptable content, but it SHOULD be acceptable content!

      There are plenty of groups which have primarily photos, you are free to join those if that is what you are after. This group is for discussions, if that is not what you are after feel free not to join.

        This is cool too, but I would like to offer an idea I’ve seen other communities do which is a specific day of the week for posting pictures. Like Pictures Tuesday or something.

          I’d mostly like to keep them to a few posts so the actual discussion posts won’t get lost. At the moment the idea is people can post that sort of thing in the pinned introduction post, but I am thinking of something along the lines of themed picture posts in the future.
