Lemmy as a whole is a community of people who choose it as a nice place to spend time.

Just participate. Or don’t. Either is fine.

If you do, be kind. Plenty of people here seeking positive interaction and discussion.

If you don’t, make sure you at least up/downvote stuff. It still contributes to this amazing community.

Either way, you are welcome here.

I’m off work today for the same reason. You’re not alone, friend.

I don’t really know my use case, I just like the idea and I’ll find uses for it. Always avoided label makers because the cartridges are too expensive. Thanks!
