I'm Jonathan, the founder of AXIS Launch and the admin here. Three things worth knowing before you read on.
Six categories, each with a job:
The threads on this site are pages. To post, start a thread on GitHub Discussions: the link is at the foot of every thread, and the note at the top of this page says where that stands today. A thread there is public the moment you post it. I moderate afterwards, under the community guidelines.
Every thread and reply on these pages was written by us and is attributed to us: either me ("Jonathan (AXIS Launch)") or "AXIS Editorial". Threads labeled "Asked by makers — answered by AXIS" are questions we wrote in the words a maker would use, with our answers; nobody is quoted. There are no invented community members and never will be. If you ever catch something that looks like fake social proof, tell me and I will remove it. Who writes and moderates here is on About this community.
Enforcement is a ladder: edit request, then removal, then thread lock, then ban.
What should exist here that doesn't yet? Start a thread with the category or thread type you'd want.
A few practical notes on mechanics:
Follow-up question: "How long until my co-founder intro is live? I don't want to lose momentum."
It is live when you post it. Threads start on GitHub Discussions, and nothing there waits for approval. Moderation happens afterwards: if a thread breaks the guidelines you are asked to fix it, and you are told why.
One thing I want to be explicit about, because it shapes how you should write: what you post is public, and an acquirer or an investor can read it as easily as another maker can. A well-documented build log or a thoughtful answer about your own security practices is diligence evidence in the open. Write like the person reading might one day wire you money — on this platform, that is the design.
Follow-up question: "Can I cross-post my thread from another community, or does it need to be original?"
Cross-posting your own writing is fine — it is your content. Two requirements: it must actually fit the category, and if it links out to a paid product of yours, disclose that in the first line. What gets removed: content pasted from someone else, and AI-generated filler with no specifics. The bar is the same as listings: would this help a real AI founder?
Update, October 2026: the moderators are me and AXIS Editorial, and both are named on About this community. If I invite an outside moderator, they are named there, with their role, before they moderate anything. Nobody here posts under any identity other than their named one, and that applies to me too.
Nobody can post or reply on these pages. New threads start on GitHub Discussions, which needs a GitHub account. A thread posted there appears at once and is moderated afterwards. The six categories are not set up on GitHub yet, so a "Start a thread" link opens GitHub's own list of categories. Pick the closest one and name the category in your title.
This page keeps its address. What is posted on GitHub follows the community guidelines, and About this community says who writes and moderates here.
