<p>
  We all have something to share. So let's help others learn.
</p>

<p>
  <a href="/submit/">Post a listing</a> for your skill and someone might reach
  out for help! <a href="/">Read the listings</a> and see if there's things you
  want to know.
</p>

<h2>Why not a hashtag?</h2>

<p>
  I... I love fedi, I really do, but we all know that federation has its flaws.
  One such flaw is that discovery can be limited, and looking up a hashtag is
  not really a guarantee that you'll see all the posts under that hashtag. While
  I was looking at this concept, someone told me about the hashtag
  <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/knowItTeachIt" target="_blank">#knowItTeachIt</a>
  and of course, I promptly went to check it out. And saw a single post
  from 2023. Apparently there's more in that tag, but my server doesn't
  know that. So yeah. Maybe more than a hashtag, then.
</p>

<h2>Is this paid?</h2>

<p>
  At current, the assumption is that these are free skillshares. If there's demand
  for listings for paid skillshares, I can add that field to this listings and
  let folks specify rate/pro bono. Pretty up to y'all. Let me know.
</p>

<h2>How do I let you know?</h2>

<p>
  You can find all my contact methods on the site linked to my name in the footer, or just
  <a href="https://flipping.rocks/@inherentlee" target="_blank">send me a message
    on fedi</a>.

<h2>When does all the Lorem Ipsum go away?</h2>

<p>
  After you add your listing.
