Thank you i opened an issue.
It helps a lot to realize that we are not obligated to respond to anyones issue. Wee are providing a software for free, and if sonething cant get it working, thats their problem. They can just not use it, or pay someone for help. Just because I wrote some software doesnt mean I owe anyone an explanation how it works.
In this regard I think it will be helpful if we aggressively close any support requests on Github, and tell people to ask on Lemmy/Matrix, where other people can help them.
On this page you donation options. However renting a fast vps is generally very expensive, so selfhosting is much more cost effective. That needs some time and to setup and manage though. As we already host a number of different servers, it would be helpful if someone else could manage this one.
Possible yes, but then we would be relying on a specific company (Microsoft) with no easy way to switch to another provider. And we would have to pay money to them if the free tier isnt enough. With drone.io we initially used their free cloud offering, and then seamlessly switched to a selfhosted instance. Now if we need more resources, any server can be used.
Maybe what youre looking for although it looks quite different: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB
We have a selfhosted Gitea instance which is currently hosting mirrors of Lemmy repos. For now thats not ideal because everyone would have to create an account to open issues and contribute, and it could easily fill up with spam. Once Gitea federates it would definitely be a great option.
Das liegt wahrscheinlich am Rate limit, siehe https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2612
I mentioned onboarding in my other comment: https://lemmy.ml/post/632344/comment/346629
For super-moderators there is an issue, i believe hexbear folks will work on it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2071
I also recently noticed the problem with signups being too complicated, so Im planning to work on an alternative way for admins to approve new users. As an alternative to the current "registration application, admins could instead choose to review and approve comments from new users, which means that users can start posting immediately. Issue is here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2601
FYI this will be fixed in Lemmy 0.17
