Mocharaka is a Standard Arabic word, used in Algeria in a rather refined register, for a competition, an event or a project: mocharaka fel mousabaqa (participation in the contest). Online, it also means sharing a piece of content or an experience. In YouTube comments, words from this family are also used for subscribing: dert mocharaka (I subscribed). Do not confuse this noun with the participle mocharka (female participant, subscriber), which is written the same way in Arabic: rani mocharka means "I'm subscribed" (said by a woman).
