The description is a bit vague.

Does “members” mean paying members? I plan to do at least ARPA but I don’t even have a free UNIX shell account anymore (I used one for about a month a few years ago, but I think it expired due to inactivity).

What topics are acceptable here? I have a few questions about using Lemmy in general, and some specific ones about this instance. Is this the right local community to post them in?

    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”?
