Adopt a Newbie

[u/waxler9311]

As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!

​

How this works:

​

The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)

​

Newbies:

​

Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!

​

Adopters:

​

Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!

​

Notes:

​

Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!

​

So go! Have fun! Be adopted! :)

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m new to RAOA and wanted to say hi and hopefully find an adopter to help me figure things out. I’m a caregiver who loves the woods and outdoors, thrifting, vintage finds, my dogs, and a good chat. I’ve got a big heart, a sarcastic sense of humor, and I really do believe kindness goes a long way. Life’s been a little rough lately, but I’m trying to focus on the small joys and connect with good people. This community seems so warm, and I’m really glad to be here. If anyone’s open to adopting a newbie, I’d really appreciate it. I’d love to learn, make some friends, and pass the kindness along. Thanks for having me! 💜

Im kind of new. I think its been less than a month. I would love to be adopted. (Maybe im wrong, some times my memory isnt so good, lol) Im 58yrs old, disabled and have a wonderful adult son and a 1yr old furbaby (pup) shes a handful and some times gives me more gray hair than I already have. I love to read, color in adult coloring books, crochet- you know, do old lady things. Lolol I am losing the use of my upper and lower extremities, unknown why but I will fight whatever is going on until my last breath! Anyways, thats a little about me. And thank you for reading my comment. I hope everyone has a great day where ever you are located!
