+================================= HELP ================================
+
+## GENERAL INFO
+
+Tildepals is hosted on Framalistes, a Sympa instance hosted by 
+Framasoft, a large French non-profit that encourages contributions to 
+and usage of FOSS.
+
+This list is configured to be private.  Non-subscribers can only tell 
+that the list exists, that lucidiot is its owner, and that they can 
+subscribe.
+The list's archives are only accessible to subscribers after logging in 
+to the web UI.
+
+It is possible to send messages to the list without being subscribed to 
+it, but they will stay in a moderation queue and require approval to be 
+distributed.
+
+The maximal message size is 5MiB, which leaves ±3.75MiB for attachments.
+
+## SUBSCRIBING
+
+With a web browser: 
+<https://framalistes.org/sympa/subscribe/tildepals>
+
+With an email:  Send an email to <sympa@framalistes.org> with "subscribe 
+tildepals" as the subject.
+
+lucidiot then gets an email telling him to confirm your subscription.
+
+## UNSUBSCRIBING
+
+With a web browser:
+<https://framalistes.org/sympa/sigrequest/tildepals>
+
+With an email:  Send an email to <sympa@framalistes.org> with
+"unsubscribe tildepals" as the subject.
+
+## CONTACT OWNERS
+
+Send an email to <tildepals-request@framalistes.org> and the mailing
+list owners will be notified.  lucidiot is currently the only owner and
+the  only moderator, but this might change in the future; this address
+always sends to all owners.
+
+## FIRST WEB UI LOGIN
+
+You can (un)subscribe to the list with just an email address and a name, 
+but to perform other actions such as accessing the archives or editing 
+your profile, you will need to get a password for your account.
+
+You can request a temporary password, which will be sent to you by 
+email, here: <https://framalistes.org/sympa/firstpasswd>
+
+## WEB ARCHIVES
+
+You can browse the list's web archives, including the messages that may 
+have been posted before you subscribed, by visting this page: 
+<https://framalistes.org/sympa/arc/tildepals>
+
+You will need to login to Sympa; if you do not yet have a password, see 
+the above section.
+
+If you want to reply to a message you found in the archives but do not 
+have in your account, you can click the Re-send button on the web UI to 
+have it sent again; this is preferred over just saying "hey I am 
+replying to this thing" in your emails.
+
+## ALL ARCHIVES
+
+The Framalistes web archives are restricted to the last 12 months.
+The list moderators can download the list's archives in bulk, and thus
+keep an archive of every message sent to the list since its creation,
+updating it each time a new State of the Tildepals is sent to the list.
+
+You may request a copy of these archives by contacting the moderators
+at <tildepals-request@framalistes.org>, providing a GPG key that we can
+use to at least encrypt the .tar.zst file, if not the entire email.
+
+## BIKESHEDDING MICROSYSTEMS PUBLIC ARCHIVE
+
+Documents related to the moderation and administration of this mailing
+list, and that can be made public, are archived at the Public Archive
+of Bikeshedding Microsystems at <https://tildegit.org/casa/bikeshed>.
+
+## SUBSCRIPTION POLICY
+
+Subscription requests from members of m455.casa are approved 
+unconditionally.
+
+Other requests will only be approved after a notice is sent to the 
+mailing list and enough members confirm that they either trust the 
+newcomer or agree to their subscription.
+
+## MODERATION POLICY
+
+Messages pending moderation that are identified to be from subscribers 
+just using the wrong email addresses will be approved after they have 
+been made fun of via a message sent by the moderator to the mailing
+list.
+
+Other messages pending moderation will be reviewed on a case-by-case 
+basis, with total subjectivity, and their rejection might not result in 
+a notification to the sender, because nobody from outside the list 
+should be sending to the list anyway.
+
+This list aims to preserve the same spirit of safety that the m455.casa
+IRC server tries to bring.
+
+If you received a message from this list that you found to be 
+potentially offending or abusive, or if you want to report any concerns 
+to the moderators, please email <tildepals-request@framalistes.org>.
