Posting in communities
A community post lets you bring a question, idea, or request to people who share your interests. You might be looking for advice, offering payment for help, or sharing something other members would find useful. A little context helps people understand why you’re posting and where they can contribute.

Use a collaboration to share an idea, ask a question, or start a conversation without attaching a payment. If you’re looking to pay someone for help, create an offer describing what you need and what you’re willing to pay. To help with an existing offer, respond with a bid. You can also send a tip to recognize a useful contribution.
