Hello Actifitters! A Busy Mom Ready to Get Moving (and a Few Questions 🙌)

Hello Actifitters!
I'm Dima — mom of three, I work in tech, and you'll find me on Hive as @dimante. I'll be honest with you: between three kids and a screen job, I don't move nearly as much as I should. So here I am. I want to build a real habit of staying active, and doing it alongside a community because it is more fun and encouraging.
My gym membership. 👟
I actually used Actifit a long time ago, and it was the application that taught me about Hive, on an old account. So much has changed since then that I'm basically starting fresh. And starting fresh means I've got questions. 😄
Here's where I'd love your help:
Watches & trackers — What smartwatches or fitness trackers actually work with Actifit? And is there any way to track with my watch instead of hauling my phone around all day? (Chasing three kids with a phone in hand is a lot, especially around the bathroom. 😅)
Rules & community — I've already read through the community rules (homework done!), but if there's any extra tip a newcomer should know, I'm all ears. And do you have a Discord or any other channel where you all hang out? I'd love to connect beyond the posts too.
What counts as activity? — Do I need to walk outdoors for it to count, or does moving around at home count too? Asking for a friend who racks up serious steps just chasing three kids around the house all day. 😅 That's basically interval training, right? Please tell me the toy-tidying marathon and the "who-flushed-what" sprint count as cardio, because I've earned those steps. 🏃♀️
The obstacle course I train on daily. 🧸
I'm still finding my feet here, so I'd honestly love to learn from you all.
