That quote in the title is from the sidebar here, but it’s not helpful. The Lemmy github page — like any github page — is indecipherable for anyone who’s neither geek nor nerd. I’m neither geek nor nerd.
Is there a community about Lemmy software on Lemmy somewhere? And if not, could we please?
But feature requests and especially bug reports are best served on github while they’re hosted there.
Thanks for a quick & helpful answer!

Seems pretty helpful to me to direct software requests or bug reports to the place where software or bug reports are taken.
The Lemmy github page — like any github page — is indecipherable for anyone who’s neither geek nor nerd.
Huh? How’s it “indecipherable”? It has some code listed, then below that is a description of the project. If you just want to add a bug report or request a feature, you click on ‘Issues’, then you check to see if that feature request/bug report is already there yet, click ‘New issue’, select the kind that you want (“Bug Report”/“Feature request”/“? Question”). Then you fill it out in the template that they give you and click ‘Create’.

Okay, but it’s not “indecipherable for anyone who’s neither a geek nor nerd”; it’s actually extremely easy, and even if you don’t find it that way at first blush, you could just ask “Hey, I’m kind of having trouble with this; can anyone help?”

The reason it’s on GitHub is because that’s where the developers are.
Is it undecipherable? They link it, there’s a page that says issue, you click “new issue”. You’re reporting a bug or feature request, describe it, click submit.
It’s important to keep a single list of issues. These are just guys developing, they don’t have project managers to go and read through forum posts to translate items into issues and give them a priority.
If going through those few steps is too much hassle, then I say it probably wasn’t that important or an issue to begin with.
