RetroFed Forum

You published a thing? On the smolnet? Nice one! Here we can share stuff without worrying about things like whether it's "good writing" or if "anybody will care".

Please do:

Share links to your own posts, on any topic.
Share gopher and gemini posts (via an HTTP bridge).
Share links to other smolnet posts you like - please mention in the submission if you are not the author.
Consider following the RSS feeds of authors you like.
Consider leaving a nice message if you liked something.
Be good-natured if you want to disagree about something.
Leave space for others: 1-2 submissions per week is appropriate.
Think hard before sharing things that will make people grumpy.

Is it smolnet?

For this community posts should be hosted independently from Big Internet Services, should not have ads, and won't invite you to subscribe to the author's newsletter.
Yes: Public access UNIX, tildes, your blog on your VPS, ...
No: Medium, Substack, BlogSpot, bearblog ...

These guidelines are a first draft and will be updated as required.

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)
