interesting idea, while it's great to have another option to go to for help, I personally get discouraged from signing up for MORE social networking sites. I don't have a facebook, in fact they shut mine down for refusing to give my real name, not to mention the constant screen capture verification due to using a VPN was a pain. I visited the site but can't do anything without "signing up"... no thank you. I visit and love this subreddit because i can lurk, and read convo's without logging in, same goes for rcgroups.
Two other sites/apps that weren't mentioned in the convo was fpvchat on slack, and dronesquad... oh and multigp... and fpvlab,and flighttest forums. Actually i guess there's more.
you claim that this site is trying to create a site that combines ALL the separate features into one place... well... if that was so then do it. A site or app that provides ALL content from each of these OTHER locations. It would be nice to view my rcgroups, discord, fpvchat, r/multicopter, etc. etc. all in once place.
Good luck in this endeavor (fo real). I won't be signing up though due to the forced sign up.
Haha code a bot that can find that page from the 3829379 page rcgroups tread that you need .
r/multicopter and r/fpv are social networks for fpv enthusiasts
they are subreddits
so you feel like we need something that looks exactly like facebook but with random meme spam and shit? we got fb groups for that, no need to have yet another site to go to
That’s not really the point of our network, to become yet another meme-laden place. It doesn’t look exactly like facebook and we’re even including a forum where people can easily get help or share their knowledge. Sure it has many functions that facebook also has, like groups and pages, but the topic of the whole site is FPV centric which is way different from what facebook is.
Today you have many different places where people can get help with their quads or find product information, these places are all in different forms, some are forums, some are subreddits or facebook groups. We’re just trying to make it easier and condensing all this into a single place. Might sound like an impossible task, but hey, we’re trying to contribute to the fpv community.
I’m really sorry if it doesn’t appeal to you, but that’s okay I guess, every start of something new is not easy but we’re taking critics very positive and trying to make the best out of it! So thank you for your comment!
So what r/multicopter, betaflight github and fb group, discord and mainly rcgroup take care of.
True, thats why we have pinned post here to talk about new stuff, also to trouble shoot. This site (or sub), together with rcgroups, serve as first step, where people will guide you where to look. You can't put everything on one site. That's impossible. Look how wikipedia looks, so many pages you got no idea they ever exist. Not to mention half of the stuff is on youtube, rcgroups huge threads, betaflight (and any other firmware for flight controllers) githubs.
