Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Hexbear should have a meta wiki. (hexbear.net)

At the very least to describe what the various communities are for. There seem to be many "general-purpose" communities and I do not understand the difference between them, and there are also communities that seem to be duplicates of one another, namely /c/hexbear, /c/den, and /c/feedback.

Additionally, I believe having a wiki blurb for common "emoji" would be beneficial. Who is the person in the image? What is their politics? Why is their image immortalized on our platform? What are some of the common usages of the emoji in terms of communicating a message or emotion through shorthand? Often I am faced with comments that I find incomprehensible due to the use of an emoji that I do not understand.

I’ll need to double check this before I post, but I think these 3 at least have decent sidebars, unlike some of the comms. From memory:

hexbear: local-only meta community for non-technical discussion about the site & site policies
den: local-only chat community, largely unused and mostly should have been posted to the prior IMO
feedback: technical site discussion

Hah!

Hexbear Meta Community

Posts should be a a Proposal (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Yep. My most recent post there would maybe have been better elsewhere since I didn’t explicitly ask for a comm to be ~~defeated~~defederated, but that’s why I posted there.

A space for Hexbear users to chat with other Hexbear users, users from other instances will be banned if they comment or post.

A bunch of the posts on the first page feel to me like they’d fit better in the meta comm, yeah.

Tell us how we're doing and report bugs. If you're technically inclined, please submit bugs to the chapo gitea project.

A couple posts IMO would fit better elsewhere, but mostly aligned with that.
