Howdy! This is a comm for new and old users alike to introduce themselves and what their hobbies/interests are. This is also a good place to ask questions on anything you'd like to know more about, and generally to get acquainted with Hexbear and its users.
Rule #1: DON'T DOX YOURSELF - Don't post/comment any personal identifying information. Obviously it's ok to talk about yourself, but make sure there is no information that could potentially lead to doxxing yourself.
Rule #2: BE NICE - Assume everyone making a post here is doing so in good faith. Keep in mind that people introducing themselves may have limited knowledge of site history, in-jokes, etc. Also keep in mind that new people might not have the same understanding of leftist theory and/or knowledge of global politics that you do. We were all there once, so it's not a bad thing to be reasonably understanding and patient with new folks. Likewise, for those who are introducing yourselves, please have an open mind, be willing to interact and make friends, and don't come here with the intent to start fights.
Rule #3: DON'T BE A JERK - Any sort of transphobia, racism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of bigotry will lead to an immediate ban. Similarly, harassment, being a creep, "chaser" behavior, or anything else done to make others feel uncomfortable will be dealt with harshly. Also try to keep any fediverse drama to a minimum. It's assumed new users are posting here to make friends and not to wade into any previous or existing conflict between instances, so please be respectful of that.
Rule #4: TRY TO BE HELPFUL - It's encouraged to help newcomers wherever possible, including explaining various aspects of this community, providing helpful resources, sharing similar interests you may have, and suggesting comms that they may be interested in.
Rule #5: USE CONTENT WARNINGS - For anything that might be considered a sensitive topic, please use the spoiler format along with a content warning to give people a heads up on what is being discussed.
If anyone has any feedback or any suggestions for improvement to this comm, don't hesitate to reach out to the mods here. Thanks!
Hey all,
New to this site and saw I should introduce myself here. I'm a Programmer, Linux/BSD-head, Skater, Guitarist, 9-ball, Anti-Capitalist, Изучение русского и української. Ask me anything and send me good groups to follow here. I attached this image as an offering.
Thanks
Greetings, comrade.
In the top left corner there is the "Communities" tab. You can click on it and browse through all of the comms. Those that interest you, you can subscribe to. Easy-peasy.
Yeah, I saw that and joined some. I just thought there might be some I wouldn't know about.
You could also check out the other instances we are federated with. I would highly recommend Lemmygrad if you’re against capitalism.
You mean 'Ask Lemmygrad?' That's all I could find.
https://lemmygrad.ml/ is their instance but with the federation system you can post in their comms from this site with your hexbear-account.
I’m not sure if there is a way to open up a list of all the comms of another instance. If there isn’t, then you would have to search up and subscribe to them one-by-one using this list as a guide https://lemmygrad.ml/communities
That's awesome! Do you know how I might find more sites like this to follow? In particular with Technology, Linux, Programming or Hacking? Much thanks!
