Joining
You found this page because you're interested in also putting something onto the compost. We are happy to hear about your idea!
compost should be a place for people from different backgrounds and with different levels of experience.
Update
To keep the compost balanced and diverse, we allow for times of rest and ensure a diverse mix of nutrients. As of September 2025, we are pausing new joins for a while.
We will use the next months to allow new users who arrived over the summer to build out their spaces and form new connections. We also want to do intentional outreach into less-techy communities.
How to join
If you feel like the description above fits to you, please write a mail to yeah@compost.party.
A couple of people can read and reply to the mails, and one of us will get back to you within a week or two.
Try to answer the following questions in your mail:
- What is the idea you have for compost? Does it have a name?
- Have you done something like that before? How would you describe your technical background?
- Have you ever run something on a server or edited a website? If yes, how was your experience?
Don't worry about the answer, it's just so we have a better idea about how to be helpful.
What you get
- A subdomain, yourname.compost.party
- Some webspace on an old phone
- SSH Access that can be used to upload files or get a shell
- A full user account on an actual web server; use it to host static websites, start http servers, run scripts to check the current rainfall ...
We're glad to see people excited about this, and we're happy to provide help and guidance to our own capacity.
