That's right. LFN manages to reduce the usual complexities
of grammar and word-building to almost nothing, while still
being fully expressive and easy to communicate in. And its
vocabulary isn't at all ugly! It's remarkable.
I myself joined the LFN community back in March, and have
spent a lot of the intervening time helping to weed out the
few remaining quirks and irregularities.

It's all online at the moment, because speakers are too
disparate. Most activity takes place at the wiki
<http://lfn.wikia.com> - there are three main things there:
- a steadily growing LFN equivalent to Wikipedia
- a collection of translated and original texts
<http://lfn.wikia.com/wiki/Vici_de_LFN:Colie>
- discussions about the minutiae of the language's design
<http://lfn.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Conversa_comunial>
Stick with it, and enjoy the elegance of LFN!
