Hi folks, I just discovered Umbrel and am using it to set up my first node.

I’m curious which communities are using Bitcoin LN, and what problems it is solving for them? I’m interested in any Reddit or other online groups that use the protocol.

Thanks

EDIT: corrected spelling/terms used

Please stop using “lightening” term. It is wrong and means totally different thing.  
If you are worried about misspeling, just use LN when you refer to Lightning Network.  
Also “Bitcoin Lightening” is wrong…
