Lemmy maintainer. Like programming in Rust.

There is an open issue, contributions welcome!
It sounds like you might be interested to host a new Lemmy instance. Right now the number of instances is still limited, and most of them cover niche topics. So it would definitely be good to have a Lemmy instance that is more mainstream. Hosting an instance requires some technical knowledge, but you can always ask for help in /c/lemmy_support or find someone else to take care of that aspect.
Creating a community on an existing instance is less effort. However it means that the instance admins have full control over your community, and you have to follow their rules. There is also no way to automatically migrate a community to another instance. Having your own instance gives you full control over the rules/moderation, and also lets you apply custom themes or change instance configuration (eg signup mode).
That depends entirely on the community where the post was made. If the community is on lemmy.ml, then the deletion federates to all other instances (including yours I think). Otherwise, if a lemmy.ml admin deletes a post in a remote community, that action isnt federated at all. At least thats how it should work, might be worth testing to confirm.
Its not so difficult to implement functionality that remote content can be fetched automatically on demand like you describe. It just takes a certain amount of work, and so far we are busy with other things. These things take time when there are only two developers funded with donations, and not some startup with millions in venture capital.
You can also fetch comments by pasting the url from the colorful fedilink icon into the search. For example https://feddit.it/comment/63117.
monero.house is probably a better place to ask this.
I managed to reproduce the problem on enterprise.lemmy.ml, but after searching the address a few times in a row it worked. You can give that a try, if it doesnt work ask your admins to check the server logs for any errors.
There is a documentation page with instructions for changing the domain name, however its a bit outdated. Instead of user_ it needs to be person, and site.actor_id, site.inbox_url need to be updated as well.

Looks like there is still something wrong with the installation from crates.io. In this case you will have to clone the git repository manually and compile from there.
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy.git
cargo build --release
I published that release manually and messed something up. Anyway the latest version is 0.17.2 so you should use that. I just noticed that it also wasnt published correctly on crates.io but that should be fixed now.
Odd, joinlemmy is updated now but it contains even less instances than before. Something is wrong with the crawler, you can run it yourself to test or debug.
Fix is here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-stats-crawler/pull/1
There is currently a TLS certificate problem on Github, once that is fixed join-lemmy.org should be updated automatically with sopuli and other missing instances.
The language should be chosen automatically if possible: For posts: - If the community only allows one language, it should select that - If the user only has one language, it should be selected by default - Otherwise, if the overlap of user languages and community languages contains one item, that should be selected by default
So communities should definitely set their allowed languages to help automate this. Instances as well, as this will also limit community languages to be a subset of instance languages.
Its possible that there are still some bugs. I also think that for the default language selection when posting, “undetermined” should not be considered
I am working on a feature which might help with that. What do you think about it?
Communities are completely independent from one another, even if they happen to share the same name. So if you are banned from community A, you can still post in community B. Another matter are instance bans, if you are banned from an instance then none of your posts will be visible there, or in any of its communities.
Also its called football.
