|
|
_The keepers' forum at fishies.lol/community: questions, ideas, bug reports, guides and aquariums worth showing._
|
|
|
|
## Ten categories
|
|
|
|
Every topic lives in one of ten categories. Pick the one that fits when you start a topic; staff can move it later if it belongs somewhere else.
|
|
|
|
Each category has its own page at fishies.lol/community/ followed by its name, for example /community/showcase, so you can bookmark or share it.
|
|
|
|
- Announcements: news from the Fishies team. Read-only.
|
|
- Updates & patch notes: one thread for every blog post and patch note, open for replies.
|
|
- General: anything about Fishies that fits nowhere else.
|
|
- Help: questions about how to play.
|
|
- Bugs: something is broken. The editor asks for your platform, what you expected and the steps.
|
|
- Ideas: features and changes you would like to see. Upvotes show the team what keepers want most.
|
|
- Showcase: your aquarium, with a live card of it attached for you.
|
|
- Guides: tips and walkthroughs written by keepers.
|
|
- Off-Topic: anything that isn't Fishies, such as other games, real aquariums, fishing and life.
|
|
- Indie Corner: developers share their own games here, with links so everyone can try them.
|
|
|
|
## Updates and patch notes
|
|
|
|
Every blog post and every set of patch notes gets its own thread in Updates & patch notes, written by the Fishies team account. The thread links the post, and the post has a Discuss button that brings you back to the thread with its reply count.
|
|
|
|
Four threads stay pinned at the top of the board: Welcome and the house rules, Frequently asked questions, How to report a bug, and the Roadmap, which links the public roadmap on the project page.
|
|
|
|
## Keeper profiles
|
|
|
|
Your Community profile has a fish avatar. Pick any fish you keep, or show your aquarium card instead. Add a short bio and a signature that appears under your posts. Open your keeper page and press Edit profile.
|
|
|
|
Tap a name or avatar to open a user card with the bio and badges, and a link to the keeper page.
|
|
|
|
## Writing a post
|
|
|
|
Reading is open to everyone. To post, reply or upvote you need a Fishies account and a public username.
|
|
|
|
The editor writes Markdown and shows a live preview of exactly how the post will look. It keeps a draft on your device while you type.
|
|
|
|
- Bold, italic, headings, lists, quotes, code and spoilers come from the toolbar, or from Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and Ctrl+K. Ctrl+Enter posts.
|
|
- Type @ and a name to mention a keeper; they get a notice.
|
|
- Quote puts the words you are answering into your reply.
|
|
- Add a poll to a topic with a question and options, and tag it with up to 5 tags so others can find it. Upvote a post you like.
|
|
|
|
## Pictures, videos and links
|
|
|
|
Attach a photo to a post. It is checked automatically before anyone sees it.
|
|
|
|
Videos are held until the team approves them, so they show up a little later.
|
|
|
|
Paste a link to Steam, YouTube, Twitch, Streamable or X and it turns into a card or player inside the post.
|
|
|
|
## Finding your way around
|
|
|
|
- Bookmarks save a topic or reply for you. Only you see the list.
|
|
- Edit or delete your own posts. Edited posts show an Edit history that only you and staff can open.
|
|
- Tags group topics. Tap one to see every topic with it.
|
|
- New markers show what you have not read yet, and you can jump to the first unread reply.
|
|
- Search looks through titles, posts and replies, and can filter by category, tag or author.
|
|
- Report a post to the moderators if it breaks the rules.
|
|
|
|
## Notifications
|
|
|
|
A reply to your topic or to your reply, a reply in a thread you follow, an @mention and an answer from staff all land in your notification centre.
|
|
|
|
Turn on Community replies in your reminder settings and a reply reaches your phone or computer while you are away; tapping it opens the thread at that reply.
|
|
|
|
## Keeping it friendly
|
|
|
|
The board is moderated by a real person. Report a post that breaks the rules instead of replying to it. You can [block](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/explore) a keeper, and the block covers the Community, chat and Open Water at once.
|
|
|
|
Posts that break the rules are removed, and posting here can be suspended apart from the game. When staff edit a post, the post says so.
|
