I propose relocating most issue discussions from GitHub to !issue_tracker@lemm.ee to optimize developer time and foster increased user engagement and collaboration. This transition would allow developers to focus on critical tasks while leveraging the voting system on Lemmy to sort comments and identify the most valuable ideas. Moreover, Lemmy’s nested comments feature would enable a more organized discussion than on GitHub, where comments can become difficult to follow. By reserving the GitHub issue tracker for concise summaries and effective problem-solving, we can enhance the development process and improve the overall user experience. This approach aligns with the preference expressed by developers to minimize interactions on issue trackers [1]. Additionally, by reducing the flood of comments on GitHub, we can ensure that developers’ time is not wasted and that they can efficiently address important issues.

  • The issues of deleted ‘ghost’ accounts haven’t been posted. Need to figure out why.
  • Should edit posts and comments if the corresponding issue content changes.
