We welcome everyone to find and share noteworthy information! This is a place for AFFiNE lovers to focus. You can find all the news about AFFiNE and share what you want to say here. Next, I'll give a quick overview of how to use this community! # Part 1: Why do we need the new community page? First of all, our previous blog website did not have a comment section, so there was no way for people to communicate with us about the content of our articles. Now we have added **'like' and 'comment' functions to the community where you can post tips, ideas and suggestions**. We want to make the most of the value of our articles and really help people and solve problems. Then, we collected **a lot of feedback and suggestions on Discord/Telegram previously**. For this information, we would like to have **a place to record it and provide a channel where people can communicate with each other**, and everyone can easily find it. The community uses a posts model so that anyone interested in the feature can post their thoughts at any time, and we can schedule subsequent features better (which would be more efficient than going through chat logs). Finally, there are many content sites and feedback is scattered at the moment. So we hope we can have **a central place to sink our content**. # Part 2: How do you join the community quickly? ## Sign up for an account After entering the [AFFiNE community](https://community.affine.pro/) page, click on **'Sign up' in the top right corner** to register your account. If you already have an AFFiNE community account, you can simply click on 'Log in'.  Next, according to the tips of the registration table to obtain an account.  ## Finding topics that you like After **successful registration**, your website will be turned **to the main community page**. Next, you'll be able to find the content you're interested in here! If you need to leave your own content in the community, **click on 'Start a post' to create a post**.  When you create a post, we provide you with some **text styles to make your post look better**. When you decide to send your post, you can click **'Select Space' to send it to a space that matches this post**. It will ensure that your post is seen by others who are interested in the topic. **Friendly reminder: Different spaces correspond to different topics, you can read the pinned introduction post for each space to find the most appropriate space for your post.**  ## Like & Comment We offer you the 'like' and 'comment' functions. **If you find a topic in the community that you are interested in or want to participate in, come and join the discussion!**  # Part 3: Finding more... ## [Show yourself to everyone](https://community.affine.pro/c/introductions/) We bring **AFFiNE lovers together here** to create a harmonious and healthy community environment.
