+# I opened a Discord for the TryPost community
+
+Hey, it's Paulo. 👋
+
+I built TryPost because I couldn't stay consistent posting. Being a developer, I gave it an MCP server, and made it open source: AGPL, self-hostable, no seat tax, no feature gates.
+
+So I opened a Discord too.
+
+## What you'll find there
+
+You'll find people running TryPost self-hosted, and people paying for cloud, in the same room. Talking, helping each other out, sharing what they've built and what's breaking. That feedback is basically how I decide what to build next.
+
+Come say hi 👋

+Cheers,
