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"?
I think the "make a donation" button on the homepage will work to support pretty much anything the org needs. I've used it before for Mastodon upgrades and when they needed cash for them MetaArpa cluster upgrades.
I would assume that it's open for anyone to use, just like mastodon.sdf.org
Weird bugs in my lemmy client...

In what context are you asking about the definition of a "member"? SDF has lots of different memberships. Lemmy, shell accounts, Mastodon, etc.
For general questions about lemmy, you might have lots of luck over in https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy
