I'm not often on the site during the reset, but if Dragorat is still running his nightly countdown to make users aware of the chat reset. I'm sure he'd be happy to include a warning that there is a chance of private chat leaks at reset also.

I understand that some people aren't fans of the countdown, so I hope users will see Dragorat's warning as a helpful temporary workaround until the issue is resolved.

I'm 99% sure this issue is related to the other photos you’ve posted.

While we have different categories, only the most recent picture will appear in the main gallery section. For example, if I post a picture of food in the "Food" category and then immediately post a picture of my face in the "General" category, both photos will appear in my personal gallery. However, only the most recent photo will show in the main content section gallery.

I mention this because the food picture is still visible in your gallery, and I can see the "New" icon next to it in the first screenshot. But since you’ve posted newer photos, the most recent one will appear in the main content section and in the relevant category.

This feature was implemented a while ago to prevent content spamming, where users would mass upload pictures that could take over the content sections. However, perhaps we could look into updating this so it's more category-specific in the future so that the newest pictures in each category per user are all shown.

Hope this makes sense, any questions let me know.

When you go to the profile section, you'll see several prefilter categories. By clicking "See More," on these it allows you to see all profiles matching those prefilters such as: Newest, Online, Local, Feeders, and Feedees.

If you click the "See All" button at the bottom of the profiles page without selecting any of the prefilters mentioned above, it will display all profiles in order of last online, without applying any other search filters.

Of course, you also have the option to customize your own profile search filters to refine your results even further. I’m not entirely sure what you’re describing with your experience, though, as the algorithm doesn't prioritize new profiles or local ones by default.

This comes across more like a personal ad than an effort to spark interest in a group meet-up in Manchester. I’d recommend posting in the personal ad forums and keep event threads for group-related discussion / meet ups.

I’m not aware of any events near Devon.

The only plus size nights I know of are hosted by those that run Club Indulge, and they’re usually in London, sometimes they venture out to other cities, but I have never been to one of these events myself. I would also say they are not Feedism events, more of fat liberation safe space for larger people to feel comfortable on a night out.

If you’re looking for something local, or looking to meet people into Feedism it might be worth trying to organize a small local meetup yourself.

Didn't even know this was a thing, how fun! We should do something like this here! Voted for you, good luck!!! Xx

Some great venues in Manchester. I really like Band on the Wall and The Albert Hall.

I'm in Nantwich, which is a short train ride away. I've tried to organise meet ups in Manchester but they never seem to happen. If you get something togetjer and get interest from others I'd be up for coming along.

This is an interesting thread, and many great points have been raised.

I've been part of this community since 2009—15 years now—and I've noticed significant changes. I miss the social aspect more and more. We used to have a fantastic group of people who would video chat, eat together, and meet up in person. It seems that many are no longer interested in friendly gatherings, and both sides—male and female, content creators and buyers—often exploit the community for sexual gratification / financial gain.

Fifteen years is a long time, and changes are inevitable. The way people use social media has evolved, and there’s greater acceptance of larger bodies in society, along with a growing trend of earning extra income through platforms like OnlyFans. While I understand why people want to make some money, it can feel like many who enter the space are simply trying to capitalize on the interest in larger bodies without a genuine passion for the community. This often leads to lower-quality content because the focus shifts to making money rather than pleasure.

I doubt things will return to how they once were. Content creators have always existed, even if they were previously called web models. However, I believe we need to initiate the change we want to see. I've tried organizing local meet-ups to connect with folks from the site, but they often don’t materialize. People need to put in the effort.

While we often discuss the influx of content creators and its impact on the community, I want to emphasize that you can identify as a feeder, foodie, or gainer without actively gaining weight. I was in a feeder/feeder relationship for ten years and only gained two stone during that time. People may lose weight for health reasons and still engage in feederism in the bedroom rather than as a lifestyle, they are still genuine but choosing how and where to indulge in the kink. Personally, my experience helped me embrace my body and fatness, leading to a wonderful relationship, which eventually ended, though we remain friends. Now, I've lost some weight but have come to realize I identify as FFA, likely influenced by my long-term involvement in the community. People change, and even genuine gainers may reconsider their lifestyles and kinks.

There is still room for content. Creators and for those of us who wish to meet and make friends in the space. I agree it does seem that the dominant interactions seem to be transactional. But there are many people who want relationships and friendships from this community.

Speaking as a moderator for a moment: we do not allow solicitation, begging, or advertising for content on the site. We want our members to feel comfortable engaging without feeling pressured to pay for participation in the community. If you encounter any issues, please report them to us.
