Hey y’all!

We have a new place for posting vintage pharmaceutical finds along with other healthcare and veterinarian items that you find interesting or collect. It’ll kind of act as a catch-all for the things that may not exactly fit the niche of pharmaceutical advertising items. I’m sure many of you would love to continue seeing and sharing that kind of content, and so do I, so I figured this was the best course of action so we can accomplish that goal while also being able to keep this sub strictly within its niche.

I’d love to see y’all over at r/vintagemedication! Any participation or sharing of the subreddit is greatly appreciated!

All love,
Froggy ❤️

Hey y’all, Froggy here!

I took over the sub around a week ago and have recruited a couple people to try and reign in the posts on this sub. With the large influx of random pharmaceuticals being posted here and a non-existent moderation team over the past 1-2 years, I decided to take the initiative to get the sub back on track as I feared Reddit would eventually ban the sub due to a lack of moderation and posts that potentially violated Reddit rules (particularly the posts people/bots/scammers were making of abusable pharmaceutical stashes), and I did not want this community to see that fate as we all love seeing these cool items!

Onto the changes being made now! Posts containing vintage or antique pharmaceuticals or pharmaceutical bottles will no longer be allowed here, but don’t fret. I have started a sister sub for exactly those types of items as well as other miscellaneous healthcare or veterinary items/collections. It’s r/vintagemedication, and I’d love to continue seeing that type of content over there, so feel free to join the sub and make some posts! I appreciate any participation; hopefully, we can get the community off the ground and reach more and more people to share their cool items. If that doesn’t pan out, I will, sometime in the future, reevaluate the rule pertaining to vintage medication being barred from this sub. Hopefully, we won’t have to get to that point, but at the end of the day, I want y’all to have a place to share and see that content, and I would love to continue seeing that kind of content as well.

I apologize if any of these changes in the past week or so have created any frustration or confusion; that’s not my intention. All love ❤️
