Getting started

Your first visit to Community: come in with Geenius OS or by request, pick a side, choose a name and a handle, and ask your first question.

This walk-through takes about ten minutes.

1. Come in#

Community is in early access. If you have a Geenius OS account, choose Sign in with Geenius OS and you are in at once, with the plan your Geenius OS plan includes. If not, request access; once the team approves it you choose a plan on the plan page. See join and sign in.

2. Pick a side#

Choose Users, Developers or both, then a name and a handle. Your handle is how people mention you. You can read a side you have not joined; posting there takes one tap to join.

3. Read the welcome#

Each side has a pinned welcome from the team and, on Users, a post on how the community works.

4. Search, then ask#

Search the side first. If nothing answers it, post in Help & questions (or Dev questions). See ask a question.

5. Accept#

When a reply solves it, press Accept on that reply. It shows first from then on.

Next#

Read about sides and channels and the house rules.
