# Discord Guidelines

This guide aims to show you simple ways to explore and contribute to the OpenGuild server. Let’s get started.

## Get Started

Please get yourself into the Start Here category

* Let other member know more about you **#introducing-and-networking 🤝**
* Read the **#rules 📕** & **#roles🏅** channel to understand our community structure and claim membership
* Go to **#languages** channel and react the flag to access your languages channels at **#community**

## Exploring our channels

### **1. General Information**

* **#announcement channel 🔔**: it is for general updates within OpenGuild and Polkadot
* **#job-board 🍀**: where you guys can find job opportunities
* **#official-resources🗂️**: where you can find official open sources for learning and contributing
* **#events 📅**: announcement of upcoming events in OpenGuild and Polkadot

### **2. Chat Channel**

* **#forum-discusion🗣:** Where our DevRel will post topics for us to discuss
* **#general:** This is where we discuss everything in Polkadot Ecosystems, Events, Projects,...
* **#share-your-ideas💡:**

Using channels for ongoing discussions is not ideal. Interruptions from others or losing track of messages on a particular subject can be common. Therefore, we highly recommend using threads for more focused and persistent conversations.

To create a thread, here is a guide:

## Tagging Roles & Asking

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
