Some basic places to look for help:

Remember to:

Be nice when posting or commenting to a post. Assume good faith questions and comments.
Do your own work. Do not request that the r/Stata community do your homework for you. Oh, and don't advertise! This is not a place to sell or buy tutoring or coding. Stata has extensive and complete documentation you can read before posting here (and you can type help followed by the command name in console to see it, e.g. help regress). Stata's online community has been active for many years and many questions and solutions are documented on StataList, which are highly indexed on contemporary search engines (e.g., Google). Perform a web search for your question prior to posting here. Make sure to include the word "Stata" in your search query. [See the sticked "READ ME: How to best ask for help in r/Stata" post on how to comment here if all else fails.](https://www.reddit.com/r/stata/comments/d9sim0/read_me_how_to_best_ask_for_help_in_rstata/)
Use a legal copy of Stata.
If you've asked a question, let people know where else you asked the question and what your solution(s) were! When you post a question on another platform, include those links in your questions or as a reply (if it's Discord, just mention it). Other users who have found the question cross-posted are encouraged to share the links as a reply as well.
