I have been searching for an open source project to get involved with and just posted my first blogpost on dev.io and stumbled up forem.dev. Look forward to helping in any way I can π
π Hi everyone! Josh here from Orbit. I π tools that help folks build communities and have been eager to try out Forem for a while now. Can't wait to learn from the smart folks here π€
Hello everyone, am excited to be part of this great community, hoping to learn more and impact the community. I'm a PHP/Laravel Developer by the way, very much interested in backend development. Nice meeting you all π€ππΎ
Hey Everyone!! I'm Jared, co-founder of a community called RevGenius - 16k sales, marketing and revops pros. Wanted to find somebody to help me install Forem for our community!
As far as options for self-hosting Forems, I personally like DigitalOcean, but all of these will be fine.
If you run into any problems getting set up, come back here and make a post seeking help.
And then once you get up and running, poke around admin, look to get properly configured, and then again, come back here if you want more help.
If you get stuck anywhere please don't hesitate to come back to forem.dev or reach out to hello@forem.com for our help! Once you're fully up and running it will all be about keeping up with community moderation and making it the best Forem you can.
β¦ I see youβre getting up and running on Forem Cloud, which is definitely the way to go. Good luck getting up and running, definitely come back to ask for feedback and ideas here. π
Hey There! I've been looking for an excellent community platform after using a bunch of others - super excited about forem - looks like a lot of thought went into it and how to bring people together.
Hello! I've been working on a handsfree visual coding platform to help people who can't use a computer at all become integrated into Tech (of which these people are typically 100% excluded from)
I joined here because the Dev.to community inspires me, and I'd like to try and kickstart a similar community for people who code with assistive tech (not necessarily with just my tool). Also, I'd like to get involved with any of the accessibility features of forem both to learn and contribute!
Hello everyone!
I am a Dev.to user for a long time now and I started writing some posts recently there too.
I am super excited to join this community and I hope I can learn and contribute a lot with you guys!
Resurrecting this thread to say "Hola, I'm Ella from the Forem Team π"
Some of y'all will know me from other Forems (my "big intro" is on DEV), but for those who don't, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance and I hope that we'll get to know each other better in the near future!
Excited to be part of forem.dev. I'm impressed with dev.to community, options to express ourselves and the quality of content available for our disposal.
Want to be part of forem too and add value to the users here and want to add value to myself as well. Thanks :)

Welcome @kekecoder ! Nice to meet you, too, and looking forward to seeing you around here (maybe even creating a Forem of your own?)

Hi Ben! May I ask when this was started? I mean this forem.dev website was launched? (I think I'm too late to join π )
Several months ago, but weβve also been fairly heads down so only now beginning to be as active as we want to be.
