Seeking a Forgejo-hosted Mirror for Lemmy Outside the US (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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.

Well, I don't think so. GitHub is unfortunately the leading platform and shifting to another one will rather lead to a decline.

However, they have an (now inactive) Gitea and a (working) Codeberg mirror but I think they only accept contribution via GitHub PR anyway.

Anyway, you could still bring this topic up (and unlike previous issues ask them to not only mirror the code but also accept PRs there). Though I think the devs would not really want to manage contributions across multiple platforms (maybe this will get better once Forgejo finally supports federation though).
