Abstract
This study aims to gain insight into Covid-19 infodemic in online communities. For this purpose, a netnographic study was conducted on a Covid-19 specific Facebook site broadcasting in Turkish language. In this context, what kind of content people are exposed to on this site, how they react to the contents and participate in discussions, and how these content, and discussions differ from those around the world were examined. As a result of the thematic coding, it was seen that the themes concentrated on 9 main themes: Precautions, Emotions, Government / Governance, Medicine / Science, Conspiracy Theories, Media, Risk, Business / Money, Ideology, and Religion. When examined in terms of variety and nature, it was seen that the content shared on the site and the discussions shape mainly around masks, Bill Gates, and irony / mockery expressions.
