# Welcome to this [[Agora of Flancia]]!

An [Agora](https://flancia.org/agora) is a <strong>Free Knowledge Commons</strong> built by the people, for the people.

Which people, you ask? Us [[Flancians]] -- and our friends!

## Navigating

- See the list of all [[Nodes]] and all [[Users]] in this Agora. 
  - An <strong>Agora node</strong> tries to aggregate all resources that are relevant to a query or location.
  - An <strong>Agora user</strong> is a person or repository who has contributed resources.
- Visit [[Journals]] for a timeline of resources that seem journal-like.
- Visit [[Index]] for the community index.
- Visit [[Random]] for a random node.
- Or just <strong>type something on the search bar</strong> above :) You will be sent to the <strong>Node</strong> view for the matching location, which tries to surface relevant resources within the Agora and around the internet.

## To join

You will need to send a [[PR]] adding a pointer to your git repository containing a digital garden or blog to [[sources.yaml]] -- or, if you don't know what that means, please reach out to @[flancian](https://anagora.org/flancian) or another member of [Flancia Collective](https://anagora.org/flancia-collective) to discuss what is needed to let us find (and import continuously) your content from around internet. 

Please indicate your preferred username and your acceptance of the instance's [[CONTRACT]] as of the time of writing. ***If you contribute your repository to an Agora you are assumed to be in agreement with its current [[CONTRACT]] as posted by user @agora.*** 

You can also write to this Agora from the [[Fediverse]] (social media) by following and interacting with an [[Agora Bot]].
