  • 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

    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).

    That is actually a quite interesting question. What is the license of the content posted to Lemmy? Would it be legal to share posts? Or use code posted here in proprietary projects? Do people retain full copyright, thus make sharing illegal? Can an instance in its legal terms define a standard license for content (like stackoverflow does)?

    Finally, who would enforce the license?

    Also, I don’t think people that scrape training data care about all of this.
