+## Joining the conversation
+There are a few ways to reach out to developers.  Most people just post here on Github with an Issue to start, or on the /r/homebrewery subreddit.  If you need to have a direct conversation, Gitter and Discord are options as well.
+
+### Reddit
+The [/r/homebrewery](https://www.reddit.com/r/homebrewery) subreddit is a good place to ask questions.  There is also an option to message the mods in that subreddit if you have account issues.
+
+### Discord of Many Things
+The Discord of Many Things server has allowed us to take a small corner of their server, which is primarily dedicated to D&D 5e content but has opened up recently to all things TTRPG.  The Homebrewery has a channel group there, and we are also active in the unattached `#formatting` channel.
+
+### Matrix.org / Element / Gitter
+The regular contributors generally chat through an app called Element, which is a front-end for a protocol called Matrix, hosted by a server/provider called Gitter.  
+
+[Here is a quick overview of Matrix.org](https://matrix.org/docs/chat_basics/matrix-for-im/).  Just know that when it talks about selecting a `provider`, the provider we use is Gitter-- you want to choose that as your *home server*.
