How are you doing? -
Heya @andyash1, you've already got a good welcome from 2 of our members I see
I know how it can be joining a new community, it's not always the easiest prospect. We're here to help and support each other as a communityHopefully we make you feel welcome, many people often chatter in the Coffee Lounge area about all sorts of things. Interesting facts, TV shows, books we're reading. You can always start your own conversation too if you feel up to it!
They/Them, however they are no wrong pronouns with me so whatever you feel most comfortable with
