Global Site Rules
-
Content discussed within must be legal to discuss within the United States of America.
-
Do not manufacture regulated items illegally.
-
Do not spam.
-
Respect the rules of other instances. Other 3D-printing communities from other instances probably won't take kindly to what we do.
-
Do not disseminate direct download links to printable gun content unless it is a link to Odysee/LBRY or GunCAD Index. Accessories hosted on other sites (Thingiverse, Printables, etc.) are fine.
-
Before making a community for user-to-user sales or trades, reach out to @TheShittinator@forum.guncadindex.com -- we need to make sure those communities stay well-moderated.
Additionally, some pointers that aren't really site rules but you should probably still respect:
-
Being kind to your fellow man will typically yield better results than being a dickhead.
-
Talking in cryptic riddles may attract ridicule. Just say Odysee ffs.

FAQ
Q: I didn't get a verification email, what the fuck?
A: Use the "forgot password" form and it'll send you a new one. Also make sure you didn't typo your email when signing up -- if that happens, reach out to me and I can help.
Q: I subscribed to somewhere, but it says it's pending?
A: We're waiting for the server that community's on to give us the thumbs-up on your sub. Give it a minute or two, then if it's still like that, unsub and resub.
Q: Is there a good mobile app?
A: Yes, you want any app that supports Lemmy -- there are a lot of them out there. I'm personally trying out Eternity on Android. For iOS, people are liking mlem.
Q: I still need help, how can I contact you?
A: Join our Matrix Space and ask for help in General.
Q: Where should I go if this goes down? Do you have a reddit presence?
A: Official Reddit-side bunker: /r/3D2A. Who knows how long it'll last.
