README
# Welcome to the [[Agora of Flancia]]!
This *[Agora](https://flancia.org/agora)* is a [[Free]] [[Knowledge]] [[Commons]] built by people for the benefit of all beings.
Which people, you ask?
In the case of this particular Agora: us [[Flancians]] -- and our [[friends]]!
# Navigating
A quick tour of the Agora will hopefully communicate the intentions of the project better than many words of introduction.
- See the list of all [[Nodes]].
- A Node is a set of resources (mostly text notes and images) that are relevant for a query or location.
- See the [[Users]] who contributed resources to this Agora so far.
- A User is anyone who has contributed resources to the Agora Commons, either as part of a repository or individually through social media.
- See node [[Index]] for the community-maintained index of this Agora, which is richer than this one, and will be embedded or "pulled" for you below.
- See special node [[Random]] for a random node out of the many thousands gathered so far. Warning: can be addictive :).
# Joining
This Agora is a bit different from most other sites around the internet in that joining is a **two step process** that begins somewhere else.
In a nutshell, it is a two step process:
- First you take notes/write/make posts in the editor(s) or platform(s) of your choice.
- Then you tell an Agora that you'd like to contribute those resources.
## Contributing notes and free form writing
You can write to this Agora by taking notes using a [[personal knowledge management]] system like [[Obsidian]], [[Logseq]] or [[SilverBullet]], storing them in a repository, and telling us about it by writing to or reaching out over any of the other supported [[Agora channels]].
If you are "tech-savvy" (in this particular way) you can send a [[pull request]] adding your [[git]] repository to this Agora's [[sources.yaml]] specifying the username of your choice. If you can't make this work or even if you don't know what any of that means please [[reach out]] if interested so we can try to support you through the process :)
## Posting from social media
You can write to this Agora straight from the [[Fediverse]]! To do so, follow the [[Agora Bot]] in a supported platform.
- If you are in Mastodon/ActivityPub, you can follow .
- If you are in [[Bluesky]], you can do the same with https://anagora.bsky.social.
'Interacting' here means writing posts containing at least one [[wikilink]], or opting in to #hashtag handling. Your posts will be linked and optionally cross-posted in text format to the matching Agora location.
## For more…
- See [[Agora architecture]] for details on how the Agora works and instructions to run your own.
- See [[Agora chapter]] for a ~20 page description of the vision behind the Agora and what we have accomplished so far, being the draft of a book chapter published in 2023.
- Please [[reach out]] if you need anything, enjoy the Agora, and have a great day! 🍮
