= Community and Support =
PINE64 has a large and very active community. Community discussion takes place on a variety of chat platforms, which are all bridged together so the messages sent via one platform are sent to all other platforms automatically. The other networks and their users are represented by P64ProtocolBot.
Community support is focused around chat platforms and forums.


== Chat Platforms ==
{{hint|PINE64 community is not some always-responding, restless commercial customer service, or some sort of almighty existence that can resolve all your problems. When participating in community discussions, please be patient and do not expect questions to be answered immediately, certainly, or currently. More precisely:
Pine64 has a large and very active community. Community discussion takes place on a variety of chat platforms, which are all bridged together - messages sent via one platform will be sent to all other platforms automatically. The community chat platforms are the following:
* The activity of community members varies depending on the time of day and the number of active users.
* Whether your questions will be answered and whether the answers are right and definitive, depends on the information you provide, the difficulty of your questions, the current state of the involved PINE64 products and their software support, and the community members' ability.
* Read [http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html How To Ask Questions The Smart Way] to learn more.
* Please read [[PINE64 Community Rules and Code of Conduct]].


* '''IRC''': server [ircs://irc.pine64.org irc.pine64.org], type <code>/list</code> to see all available channels (web IRC available on https://www.pine64.org/web-irc/; only some of the channels are available)
'''Note:'''
* '''Discord''': [https://discordapp.com/invite/DgB7kzr invite link] (all channels are available)

* The bot name is "Pine64 Protocol Droid" or "P64ProtocolBot", depending on the chat platform, and if you see this, look in the message to see the actual author of the message.

}}
 
The community chat platforms are the following:
 
* '''Discord''': Use this '''[https://discord.gg/pine64 invite link]'''. All PINE64 discord channels are immediately viewable, do not need to join separate channels like the Telegram/Matrix table below.
* '''IRC''': The server is '''irc.pine64.org''', and the ports are '''6667''' (plain) and '''6697''' (TLS). Use <code>/LIST</code> command or the table below to see the full list of channels. This server experienced abuse by spam bots in early October 2023, which resulted in requiring registration and authentication with <code>NickServ</code> before users could join channels between October 3, 2023 and October 11, 2023. Using <code>NickServ</code> to join channels has become required again on October 23, 2023, due to the server experiencing repeated abuse by spam bots.
* '''Matrix and Telegram''': See the table below.

Community and Support

Community collaboration and support is focused around the chat platforms and forums described below. See Getting Started | PINE64 for tips about how to get started with the PINE64 community.

Chat Platforms

PINE64 has a large and very active community. Community discussion takes place on a variety of chat platforms, which are all bridged together so the messages sent via one platform are sent to all other platforms automatically. The other networks and their users are represented by P64ProtocolBot.

PINE64 community is not some always-responding, restless commercial customer service, or some sort of almighty existence that can resolve all your problems. When participating in community discussions, please be patient and do not expect questions to be answered immediately, certainly, or currently. More precisely:
  • The activity of community members varies depending on the time of day and the number of active users.
  • Whether your questions will be answered and whether the answers are right and definitive, depends on the information you provide, the difficulty of your questions, the current state of the involved PINE64 products and their software support, and the community members' ability.
  • Read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way to learn more.
  • Please read PINE64 Community Rules and Code of Conduct.

Note:

  • PINE64 uses a bridge bot (matterbridge with some modifications) that allows Discord, IRC, Matrix, and Telegram users to see each other and participate together in the community chat.
  • The bot name is "Pine64 Protocol Droid" or "P64ProtocolBot", depending on the chat platform, and if you see this, look in the message to see the actual author of the message.
  • When the bot relays messages, it will show the chat platform the user is using by prefixing their nickname with "[D]" for Discord, "[I]" for IRC, "[M]" for Matrix, and "[T]" for Telegram.

The community chat platforms are the following:

  • Discord: Use this invite link. All PINE64 discord channels are immediately viewable, do not need to join separate channels like the Telegram/Matrix table below.
  • IRC: The server is irc.pine64.org, and the ports are 6667 (plain) and 6697 (TLS). Use /LIST command or the table below to see the full list of channels. This server experienced abuse by spam bots in early October 2023, which resulted in requiring registration and authentication with NickServ before users could join channels between October 3, 2023 and October 11, 2023. Using NickServ to join channels has become required again on October 23, 2023, due to the server experiencing repeated abuse by spam bots.
