So I'd originaly created this because I looked for a Guix sublemmy and hadn't found one.

Turns out, I just hadn't looked hard enough. Turns out that there's a Guix sublemmy at lemmy.ml (https://lemmy.ml/c/guix) and already relatively active.

I don't think it makes sense to fragment things (especially when Guix is pretty small, as it currently is) so I'll probably delete this one in a week or two.

Just wanted to give a heads up.
