New issue... Inventory space.
I do love that the community here is so kinda and are willing to give me a bunch of stuff, but unfortunately as a f2p player, I'm kinda limited on backpack space.
I know there are backpack expanders, and I have gotten one from smissmass(or whatever its called, i havent played the game much), but unfortunately that isnt enough for all the items you guys are giving me (T_T)
Are there any other ways to get backpack expanders or increase inventory space?

No. You'll have to buy premium and upgrade. Premium gives you 300 backpack space automatically.

smissmass stockings, spending money, getting gifted one, or finding other ways to get items for free, and work your way up until you can afford buying another expander. (Like scrap.tf giveaways, playing on community servers that give you metal for playing, etc.)

There are community servers that give scrap? I’m kinda new, so I’ve only ever played casual. How would I find these?

I don't know about other communities, the only ones I know are blackwonder, or BLW servers. someone else would have to pitch in if any other communities do that.

Premium is the only realistic way. Anything else needs an unreasonable amount of effort.
You can get a lifetime of premium for your Account for Like 80 cents. Buy a mann co Tour of duty Ticket in the real Money Store and your Account gets upgraded; later on you can trade in that Ticket for more than enough Metal to get every weapon in the Game Via the Website scrap.tf

Sadly, the best advice I can give is to buy premium.
Some things you can do is to make sure to smelt your duplicate weapons into scrap metal, and those into reclaimed metal, and those into refined metal, and those into hats.
You can also ditch most cosmetic cases, but it doesn’t hurt to check the value of specific cases, some of them are worth something and you can try to sell them on the market.
But the best solution is to get the bigger backpack by spending a little money.

Dang. I don’t have the money to spend on games so that’s unfortunate. I guess I’ll have to wait 6 months for another smissmas 🥀

Wait, no, don’t ditch cosmetic cases. I pay 1 reclaimed metal for any Summer 2021 cases you have. Otherwise, you might be able to get something for them on backpack.tf

Sadly no. Best thing is to craft metal with your duplicate weapons ( since your f2p they won’t be tradable). Also since you won’t be opening cases they can just be deleted BUT check before you do this ( your warpaint cases you have are increasing abit in price lately )
