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.

Welcome friends! Very curious to hear what people are thinking. And if it’s something that doesn’t appeal, that is also welcome feedback.
The look and feel is pretty easy to change, and I can make new categories at will - just didn’t put time into those things yet.
In theory, the tools make it possible to download all of your own posts and save them as well as moving them to a new Lemmy instance. This is probably the most attractive point to me given how many resources we’ve lost in the annals of time. The full download to a local file doesn’t just work with a button but I believe that is in progress.
This is the meta thread to tell me what you’re thinking and how it’s working.
As far as rules, I need to pull some together, but basically play nice, and please only upload images that you own.
