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.

Browsing the community

Filter the feed by topic:

  • Small wins: progress worth celebrating, however small.
  • Ask the community: questions for everyone.
  • Resources: links, notes and tools worth sharing.
  • Introductions: say hi when you arrive.

Sort by Newest or Most activity, show only posts you have saved, or search conversations. Open a post to read it in place, with other conversations alongside.

Writing a post

  1. Select Create post on Home.
  2. Choose who to share with (the whole community, or one of your pods for a check-in) and a category.
  3. Add a title (up to 180 characters) and write your post.
  4. 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.
