Hey Ray! Welcome to Hive!
I'm sure you'll find many people from ListNerds here.

I'm living in Japan right now. Do you still know Japanese? 😅

Hive could get very overwhelming for a newbie ('cause that's what happened to me when I joined) but there are tons of support groups here that are willing to help.
If you have some questions, feel free to join The Terminal discord server.
They have been very helpful to me until now.

Take your time in writing.
There's no time frame here as to when you need to post. 😅

Good luck on your journey!
