+[lists.sr.ht](https://lists.sr.ht) is the sr.ht mailing list service.
+
+# Email controls
+
+You may subscribe to any list by emailing
+`user/list-name+subscribe@lists.sr.ht`. You may unsubscribe with `+unsubscribe`.
+You may post new threads to this list by writing to the address with no `+`
+command.
+
+# Dashboard
+
+Your [dashboard](https://lists.sr.ht) shows you recent emails on mailing lists
+you're subscribed to. You can reply to one by clicking the author's name, or
+view the thread by clicking the subject.
+
+# Profile
+
+Your public profile page shows a feed of emails authored by you, as well as a
+list of mailing lists you administrate. Like the dashboard, emails can be
+replied to by clicking the authors name and you can view the thread by clicking
+the subject.
+
+# Archive
+
+Each list shows a list of archives, sorted by which has seen the most recent
+activity. In each thread's heading, you can see the number of participants,
+number of replies, and subject of the initial message. Click the subject to see
+the full thread.
+
+# Threads
+
+Email threads can become trees as participants reply to different messages. In
+the simple case of a linear thread, you will see replies written linearly.
+However, if a thread becomes split, you may see several linear trees of
+discussion form.
+
+To reply to a message, click the author's name.
+
+# List Administration
+
+List access controls are available on your list settings, which can be accessed
+with the "List settings" button on the list archive. The controls are
+fine-grained enough to support many access scenarios, here are some examples:
+
+## Announcement lists
+
+A list that only you can write to is useful for announcements. Remove all user's
+"post" and "reply" permissions to prevent them from submitting - owners are
+always able to post. You can optionally leave the "reply" permission enabled to
+allow people to respond to announcements, but be aware that their responses will
+be sent out to all subscribers, which is usually undesirable for low-volume
+announcement lists.
+
+## Write-only security lists
+
+If you want a mailing list where people can write to you about security
+vulnerabilities in your software, you can remove the "browse" permission without
+removing the "post" or "reply" permissions from the list. This will allow people
+to send emails to the list, but not view the archives or subscribe.
