Guidelines for the “Pilgrims” Channel on Farcaster The goal of this channel is to create a respectful community where personal experiences, images, and stories from pilgrimages to places of worship—such as Mecca, Santiago de Compostela, or other spiritual destinations—can be shared. Follow these guidelines to help keep the community inspiring and welcoming: - Allowed content Share your travel experiences: photos, stories from each stage, anecdotes, places to visit, restaurants, and personal impressions. In addition to landscapes and monuments, try to capture human and emotional moments: joy, fatigue, or the camaraderie among fellow pilgrims. Don’t forget the symbols and details that define the routes—like scallop shells, yellow arrows, markers, or rituals. These elements help contextualize images and tell the story of the journey. If you travel across countries, show local traditions and religious celebrations you encounter along the way. - Respect and privacy Remember that pilgrimage sites are places of prayer and devotion. Photos should respect the personal space and privacy of other pilgrims. Always ask for permission before photographing someone who is praying or in a private moment. Avoid images that may feel intrusive or disrespectful. Hajj authorities advise not to linger in crowded areas or block walkways—respect these rules on any route and avoid obstructing movement. When photographing sacred places, keep in mind that many sites prohibit commercial photography or the use of tripods without prior authorization. - Community guidelines Use inclusive and respectful language toward all religions and cultures. Share your thoughts without attacking or discrediting others' beliefs. Avoid spam or commercial self-promotion—this channel is meant for personal stories, not advertising services. Interact positively: when commenting on a post, aim to contribute, encourage, or help answer questions. If you share practical information (lodging, health tips, etc.), make sure it’s reliable and include the date and location. - Practical tips Use relevant hashtags (#CaminoDeSantiago, #Hajj, #Pilgrim) so others can easily discover your posts. If you post images of other pilgrims or children, blur their faces or confirm you have their permission. Before starting a route, learn about local customs, dress requirements, and any photography restrictions.
