Någon måste vara den första här på det svenska forumet, och självklart är det den som har inget annat att göra.
Jag hoppas innerligt att hitta alla anständiga människor från Duolingo här igen. Infödda såväl som flytande talare.
Och kanske tar några av de anonyma observatörerna tillfället i akt att ge sig till känna också..
Someone had to be first to write a warm-hearted welcome on this all-new Swedish forum.
I sincerely hope to find manu people from Duolingo here again. Native as well as fluent speakers.
And maybe some of the anonymous observers take the opportunity to make themselves known as well.
The first thing that any visitor here should know is that at duome.eu we aim at making a much better forum than Duolingo ever was.
Here are a few "lesser" aspects we wanted to improve:
Overall Forum Mindsetting
-- This is a very positive minded forum! Even when the Duolingo-Swedish forum was already very nice and calm, no negativity to be seen, we want and we will do even better here on Duome, as we have only a "Thanks" button to express your respect and approval for a constructive post. Doing so will add your alias on the Thanks List at the bottom of a topic, so you can see who, along with you, also approves the content. (changed your mind? you can UnThank again)
Moderation of the forum content
-- this forum is very much moderated, i.e. not just a loose bunch of unsorted items. To make sure that this happens we need to collaboration of every visitor, and there are a number of rules to be respected. Note that these "Swedish from English" rules are to complement the "General Duome Forum rules", and note also that these forum rules may be different (more severe) than those for other languages.

Structured content
In this Swedish Forum Community we want to keep the forum as structured as possible. Therefore, next to a General Discussion forum, where Swedish as well as English speaking/writing is allowed, and where any Language related topic can be created for discussion, we have created a number of very specific subforums to accomodate topics with a corresponding content.
Good and serious content won't disappear
Unless by actions of the Moderator (due to infringement of The Rules) or by action of the Author
Replies don't disappear
Even when a post is quoted or commented upon, will it not disappear when the original post is deleted
No discussions being truncated in the middle, no subtrees being deleted because they are "defunct" (no more parent post)
Excellent Search feature
It is explained here how you can find any previous content, and how to make use of the content the Categories
