No need for the whole story.
No need to start from the beginning or explain how you got here.

Just: where are you right now?

Maybe you just found this place and have no idea what you're doing yet.
Maybe you've been at this for years and need a change of scenery.
Maybe you're doing okay and just want to be around people who get it.

All of that works.

Drop a few lines.
Tell us your name, where you're from, what brought you here.

That's it.
No pressure to share more than you want to.

I'll start:
I'm Harry, based in Bavaria near Munich, Germany. I built this community because I needed something like this and it didn't exist. Still figuring it out, same as you.
