## Connect Lemmy

2. Enter your instance address, username and password. They are stored encrypted.
3. Choose the communities in the composer.

## Before it goes out

The composer shows Lemmy's preview beside the others, counts the text the way Lemmy does, and lists anything the network would refuse, such as a file that is too large. Fix it in the composer and the post stays in your queue.
