Should you join a community to learn Rust?

Short answer: yes

Over the past 5 years, I've learned a lot about communities.

I've made many mistakes: I could probably create a 'Community Mistakes 101' crash course! Unfortunately, they didn't teach that in high school, which would have been useful.

I learned that a community absolutely must have a specific goal. I also learned that while having an open community is good at the beginning, it becomes nearly impossible to handle and moderate long-term unless you dedicate an insane amount of time to it (trust me, I tried) or you are a bored millionaire lying on the couch all day (which is not my case).

Regarding promotion, I've made the mistake in the past of overpromoting communities I created, simply because I was overjoyed about the new adventure. I now think this approach is wrong. it's better if people discover the community on their own.

But now I really feel I am ready to do it right.

So, why am I writing this? The reason is simple: I've just a new community, and I've decided to use Twitter (sorry, X) for it.

The goal is to introduce curious developers to the Rust programming language and help them understand as much as possible.

Joining this community is free, just request to join. The link is in my profile, but if you're lazy and want to be invited, just reply below.

For now, I am not accepting moderators, but moderators might be chosen from among the active members in the future.
