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.

<h2 id="why-not-a-hashtag">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 id="is-this-paid">Is this paid?</h2>
<p>
Some listings may have a stated rate, whether that is monetary, skill swap, or free.
If there's no stated rate, free is assumed. Feel free to talk to the person/people
you reach out to about compensation!

<h2 id="how-do-i-take-down-my-listing">How do I take down my listing?</h2>
<p>
Message me and I'll remove it.

on fedi</a>.
