Fedora has a strong community that is ready to help you. Because users and contributors span the globe, a key element to the project is communication. Forums, mailing lists, IRC, Telegram, and Discord provide quick and easy ways to communicate. Quick links
Make sure that you understand and follow our guidelines before you start communicating with others in the Fedora community. Some basic guidelines can be found in the Mailing List Guidelines and the IRC How-To. Helping YourselfBefore seeking help from others, please take a little time to review the huge variety of self-help resources that are available. Check out the Fedora Documentation. If you are already using Fedora, man dnf Press q to quit. To read the info gcc Press q to quit. There are a number of other documents available on your system under the documentation folder at /usr/share/doc/. The rpm -qd coreutils While these commands work from a terminal, other easy-to-use tools are also available. Check the menus for your desktop and programs. Don't forget to check the Fedora Documentation. Providing Feedback to DevelopersIf you believe you have found a bug or would like to suggest enhancements, use the Bugzilla bug tracking system. More information is available on the Bugs and feature requests page. The Ask Fedora forum or users mailing list is the place for most questions. Development discussions happen in the Fedora development mailing list, devel, and we encourage community users and developers interested in Fedora to participate there. You can post in this list for development-related discussions that are not straight-forward bug reports or feature requests. This is not a suitable place to ask general questions. If you are using a test release or the development version of Fedora, post feedback to the test mailing list and bug reports to Bugzilla. Developers do not usually follow discussions in end-user sources since they are high-traffic and not as efficient as a tracker like Bugzilla. For other mailing list options, see Mailing Lists below. ForumsForums provide Fedora users with an easy way to get help for any issue that may arise. Most of the forums are extremely active and provide structured access to a number of knowledgeable and helpful Fedora users. Ask Fedora is a community knowledge base and support forum hosted by Fedora Project. If you're looking for something a bit more conversational, visit our new forum at discussion.fedoraproject.org. (This site is for discussion of development and other work within the Fedora Project. For support and troubleshooting help, visit Ask Fedora.) fedoraforum.org is an independent community website and not hosted or affiliated to Fedora Project or Red Hat. It is a platform for users to help each other. Other forums are also available:
International Forums
There are many great community websites beyond the Fedora Project that may be of interest to you. See the Community Websites page. Mailing ListsMailing lists are special email addresses which send email to all users who have subscribed to them. Sending an email to a mailing list reaches all users interested in discussing a specific topic and users who are available to help other users with that topic. Using Mailing Lists Personal Information NOTE If you are using the mailing lists and see a post that is off-topic, you can direct the user to the PostIsOffTopic page, which will provide them with information to guide them in list selection in the future. Please do not be unnecessarily rude, as it hurts Fedora when you offend other users. User Mailing Listsusers - General discussion and community assistance for users of Fedora releases. If you want help with a problem installing or using Fedora, this is the list for you. You might also use Ask Fedora forum instead

WARNING NOTE Fedora has moved primary communications to Matrix for real time communication and collaboration. Support, development, meetings, etc, are all captured with the Fedora Matrix space which can be joined by joining the Fedora Matrix Space]. You can use any Matrix client to access the Matrix Space that supports Spaces, including Fedoras own Element instance. Note that while Matrix is Fedoras primary real-time communication method, many of its channels are bridged to the corresponding channels on the Libera IRC network. If you prefer to use IRC for end to end user support or other active IRC channels you may do so. Meetings and other Fedora administration activities may only be available within Matrix. IRC, or Internet Relay Chat, is a real-time, text-based form of communication. You can have conversations with multiple people in an open channel or chat with someone privately one-on-one. To talk to other Fedora Project participants, log onto the libera chat guides. To learn how to use IRC, refer to the IRC Tutorial at irchelp.org and IRC HowTo. NOTE NOTE WARNING User Help
