Is there a way to join copper tubing for the house's plumbing without using
lead solder?

D.

Half inch copper pipe can fit 5/8" flair fittings, 3/4" pipe fits
7/8" fittings. Annealing the pipe helps the flair not split.
Antisieze on the threads allows take-apart years later. A high, high
quality flair tool helps alot. Costly fittings, and don't forget to
place the flairnut before flairing.
