Using Hatch
Forums and communityBeta
The community is where all hatchers can share small wins, ask questions and swap resources, beyond the walls of a single pod. In the beta, community discussions live in the Community feed on Home.

Writing a post

- Add a title (up to 180 characters) and write your post.
- Select Post to community.
Stuck for words? Prompts like "Today I finished", "I'm working on", "I'm stuck on" and "Tomorrow I'll" give you a head start.
Replying, voting and saving
- Reply with Write a reply…. Replies can include an image (up to 8 MB) or a PDF (up to 2 MB). If a reply fails to send, your text is kept and you can retry.
- Vote to lift helpful posts. Selecting it again removes your vote. There are no downvotes.
- Save a post to come back to it with the saved-only filter.
- More actions lets you copy a link, report a post or edit your own post.
Locked threads
Sometimes a thread is locked. You can still read it, but new replies are closed. If you think a thread was locked by mistake, use Report or appeal.
Community guidelines
Hatch works because people are kind and honest. In short:
- Be supportive. Celebrate progress and give feedback you would want to receive.
- Keep it on topic and useful. No spam or self-promotion.
- Respect privacy. Do not share other people's details, or your own sensitive information.
- Report anything harmful rather than replying to it.
The full rules are in the Terms and conditions.
