Hey everyone.

I thought I’d make a post for anyone to comment on with suggestions they’d like to see in this community. Seeing as it’s starting to get quite a bit more active, and now that we have several mods, we should probably make it more professional looking, with a proper sidebar and maybe some other features you might have seen in another community that you liked.

If anyone has seen ideas they’d like to see here, feel free to suggest them in the comments on this post and myself and the other mods can possibly implement them. I’ll leave this post pinned so it’s easy to access, in case you read this and have an idea later on.

How about a permanent central place where we can find a well organized list of Canadian substitutes.
It's nice to have questions posted with comments answered inside them, but soon, newcomers may start repeating the questions

There's several websites that do that, so maybe just a list of links to those sites and let them do the heavy lifting.

I like the idea but I’m not sure how easy it will be to compile a list of that size. I’m definitely open to it, and might start writing down some products as I see them posted here, and maybe in the future make a giant list of recommended substitutes. Maybe for now I’ll look for a website that does something similar and link to it, until I can get a good list of my own

Maybe a pinned list of sites that do the same thing lie u/LimpRimble mentioned would be easier. Pinning the list to the top would make it easier for people to start finding substitutes without needing to ask

I like that idea, I’ll do it after work today
