Hi, I created an account so that I can ask some clarifying questions about the recent [Discontinuing syncthing-android](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002) announcement, but I don’t have the option to reply to posts there. Are special permissions needed to reply to Announce topics, and could I request to be granted those permissions?

Your first couple of posts as a brand new user can’t be in announce threads. You should be fine now.
