I was able to not only join a Lemmy community, but leave a comment behind as well!
I've got ideological differences regarding freedom with the lemmy devs. OTOH, I don't run lemmy, so if I can participate from my own custom lotide instance I can live with that compromise.
Putting up walls is the opposite of the point of ActivityPub federation, after all. Free and open discourse without being reliant on anyone is the point.
