As an enthusiastic supporter of Lemmy, I am eager to contribute to the project. However, I hold strong reservations about writing a single line of code for a project hosted on a Micro$oft server. While I have created a few issues on GitHub, I firmly believe that my contributions could be significantly amplified if there were a mirror of Lemmy that utilized Forgejo hosting outside the United States. I would be absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to contribute more actively to this incredible project if such an alternative hosting option were available.

Very well written and understandable. Also your official information on this. But I'd like to hand over to the angry FOSS aficionado living in the back of my head:

Why do you simply accept how it is instead of actively working on rewriting your pipeline, rewriting your tests, and changing your suite to support generic backends instead of only MS GitHub? You could also make your MS GitHub page for the project a mirror of your Codeberg or a self-hostes Forgejo instance and set it so that no new issues and PRs can be only done there but not on MS GitHub.
