Rules

Help requests

Help requests are allowed (for now), but consider opening a GitHub issue instead. Basically:

If you want some vague advice like which tool do you folks use for XYZ, post here
If you have an issue but feel like it's a you problem and the solution is probably trivial, feel free to post here if you don't want to clutter Niri's issue tracker
If you have an actual issue with Niri, open a GitHub issue. Even if it turns out to be an issue with something else, it makes the problem searchable. If you figure out a solution by yourself, don't forget to comment it and close the issue.

General

Not any specific rules yet. Be decent, respect instance-wide lemmy rules. This is the internet - I don't need to prove you broke a written rule to ban you :)

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
