Thanks for starting this community. I came here with the intention of doing the same thing. :-)

I found this forum a week or so ago, and I’ve been posting there. I’m not suggesting that people abandon this community and go there, but it’s worth searching for newbie questions and topics.

More to the point, I’d love to see people reference topics there as a conversation-starter. I’d like to bring that part of the conversation into the fediverse, rather than a place owned by (and contingent upon the success of) a business.

This is great! I loved the pipe smoking community on Reddit and am excited for this one on Lemmy.

Thank you for creating the community! Feels great to have a place that isn’t marked NSFW because of some company’s add policy.

Excellent, I was hoping a pipe community would pop up!
