Welcome to my little experiment with Lemmy. I’ve said a few times that maybe Lemmy might be a structure that would work for our community and I decided to finally start one.
Lemmy is federated with ActivityPub, so you can make an account here or in theory you can use an account created on another server for Mastodon or Lemmy.
This is just an experiment for now. If we like it and it works, I’ll figure out how to set it up in some sustainable way. But for now, consider it more of a sandbox than a permanent reliable structure.

If you want to use this on a phone, there are several apps for Lemmy that should be able to connect to it. I am experimenting with one called Voyager. The link in the comment above gives you a few to look at, or search Lemmy on your device’s app store.
I found the apps and am using Voyager for now - having a mobile option significantly improves the chances that I’ll actually be a participating member!
This looks pretty good on Voyager but I notice it is a little more awkward to reply. It was also tricksy to get it set up with an existing account login but I figured it out eventually. This is a test to see how well comments work
