⛺️ What’s a village?

A village is a place where people with a shared interest have decided to be. You’ll see named blobs on the map that show roughly where they intend to camp. Some of them have a big shared tent they set up where they cook together and make things, others a circle of chairs, some are just friends who want to camp together… it varies.

You don't need to be part of a village, but if you're a first timer there's a blob at the top right corner called "unaffiliated village" where you could camp with other first timers if you wanted (but it is at the noisy end), otherwise the whole camping area is your oyster.

Some villages run workshops or show off stuff they've brought, and they'll usually advertise that in some way. Some are even here on Mastodon! (Say hi)

awesome, thanks for this. As a first timer, feedback from me would be that it would be super to be able to see which villages are happy to be joined, which are closed, and/or village contact to check :) I've seen a few I fancy but don't want to just click join and be rude :D

If you're looking for a village, you're very welcome to join our Motley Crew of fine people.

@Leeky... are you the Motley Crew village? It was actually on my list of good looking locations :)
