1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Hey, I'm sure I'll be the first to be downvoted, but I've maintained a self-made sourdough starter for 8 years. It's survived spills, falls, mishandling, and everything you can imagine. I've made hundreds of pounds of dough and even started a side pizza business. We've kept it in the refrigerator for months and fed it equally outside when active. We never use whole wheat, only choosing high-protein white all-purpose flour, mixing it 1:1 with equal parts water every day when active. Good luck—it's not rocket surgery, at least from my experience.
Don't stress it, feed it everyday for at least a month, treat it like a pet- good luck!
Thank you!
