Get to know hoppipolla

I present some information and videos to hopefully get you more familiar with Hoppipolla! I tried to exclude info that is already in the guide video.

FYI, I tried to rank the videos in the YouTube playlists in order of most recommend to least. It is also the main reason I created this carrd, so do check them out using the buttons at the top of the pages.

Psst!! Hey hoper! This was actually originally created for baby Hopers in the Hoppipolla discord server. You should join by clicking here if you haven't already. We would be so glad to have you no matter "how much of a stan" you are.
