I'm asking what the community description means by "member". I didn't want to start posting if I didn't meet the requirements. If it's just anyone that signs up for any of those, then that's my answer. I'm probably just going to use Lemmy. I already had a Mastodon with librem.one before I knew SDF had one. I don't have use for a shell account, other than occasional fun, which I don't have much time for these days :/ but, as far as I know, there's no way to support SDFs efforts hosting lemmy and mastodon, with money, outside of picking something from the shell accounts. Maybe I could just name my own price and start sending checks?

I will use https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy but that was just an example on my mind. What topics are considered acceptable in this community? I ask because it appears to be the most active local communities on SDF but the description is vague. Is it intended to be a general purpose chat for "members"?
