hey beeple! I didn’t quite know what to title this, I apologize.

feeling a bit insecure about what would be interesting to post about here on beehaw. so, I thought I’d ask, what kind of posts interest you in the communities you’re involved in?

I personally like to learn a lot of things (provided I’m interested in the topic! school was not great for that) and like to learn from other people. for example, I’m recently dipping my toes into linux, and I’ve started doing things with self hosting (also linux…) as well as trying out new video games and such. I don’t have many people to talk about these things with, so I’d like to turn to beehaw for this, but wanted to see if people are generally discouraged by seeing if 1) the same person is posting a lot of topics and 2) that person is a newbie to what they’re posting about most of the time.

I know I can’t “win it all” per se and have everyone enjoy that kind of thing. just wanted to post a general feeling out thread of how people feel I guess? I came from reddit (unfortunately) and am still trying to grasp what a community like this is open to. since my experience on reddit was not great.

I do want to post some other things and get feedback and possibly stir up discussion if that ends up happening! I’m trying to participate hahaha.

as an additional question, somewhat related, but is there a new hobby you’ve recently gotten into?

    for video games, I assume? correct me if I’m wrong! if so, I really enjoy seeing people do off the wall stuff myself, even if I’m not terribly good at it anymore. I’ve been delving into Caves of Qud recently and seeing videos of people doing different builds is really cool.

      I like videogame lore theorycrafting like r/TESLore but real life theorycrafting is fun, too. You would see it sometimes on r/DankChristianMemes, r/Stoicism, and lots on r/etymology. r/C_S_T was devoted to it.
