Just curious what this community's demographics are like! I'm closing in on 3500 myself

Wow that’s a lot! I checked the sidebar but didn’t see a link on how to get started with geocaching. Is there an app or site that everyone uses?

Geocaching.com would be the site everyone uses, it's free to make an account. Their FAQ is a good place to start as well.

For apps, there is c:geo for Android, Cachly for iOS, or the official Geocaching app for both. I might see about adding more of a wiki or sidebar to this community...
