Help answer questions!

[tannewt]

Although you consider yourself a CircuitPython beginner, its likely you already know something that other folks do not! Please share that knowledge!

There are a few places where people post questions and could use a helpful answer.

• Adafruit CircuitPython Forums
• Adafruit Discord
• GitHub issues

If you cannot answer a question yourself and its been a few days since its been asked, then please join Discord and mention @circuitpython helpers with a link to the question so someone else can help answer it.

Is there a difference in use or audience between the forums and the discord instance?

In my experience, discord is far more interactive and depending on time of day there are several people willing and able to help.

@larsks Discord can certainly be more interactive. One of the major differences between Discord and the forums is that Discord is primarily community driven and the forums have official Adafruit Support people available to answer questions. There is a little overlap with some of those people, but not much. We consider Discord to be faster, but with potentially less applicable responses, and the forums to be slower but with consistently more applicable responses. As well, in the event that you have an actual hardware issue requiring a replacement, your issue must go through the forums to reach that conclusion.
