    I've always just run it using the default SQLite database without issue. Mealie's dedicated backup and restore system should make it trivial to swap between the two should you have the need.

    Confirming that you can indeed do this with the Recipe Finder feature. You can specify any ingredients (or tools) and it surfaces an "Almost Ready to Make" recipe list based on what you've selected.

    It seems like you can come in and say like "I have these ingrediants, what can I do?"

    The article does note that this may not carry through the whole holiday season:

    Despite the strong Black Friday sales this year, analysts say that may not reflect how retailers will perform overall this holiday season.

    It will be interesting if we ever get any data about who is doing the spending, especially in the wake of the recent Moody's report that nearly half of U.S. retail spending comes from top 10% of earners.

    • First, we are moving away from subscribers as the measure of community size or popularity... Instead, we’ll start using visitors. This is the number of unique visitors over the last seven days, based on a rolling 28-day average.
    • Using visitors as the measurement, we will set a moderation limit of a maximum of 5 communities with over 100k visitors. Communities with fewer than 100k visitors won’t count toward this limit. This limit will impact 0.1% of our active mods.
    • Today, when you remove content from your community, that content continues to appear on the user profile until it’s reported and additionally removed by Reddit. But with this update, the action you take in your community is now the final word; you’ll no longer need to appeal to admins to fully remove that content across Reddit.
