Is there a way to submit issues for software on Github without creating a Github account? (lemm.ee)

No, but think of it this way-- creating good bug reports is a valuable type of contribution for open source projects. If you aren't able to fix the issue yourself then it is still appreciated to take the time to write up a good bug report (describe the issue, the expected result, the actual result, and steps to reproduce). So don't let a free account stand in your way 🙂

except the free account on github is lots of work and needs your data. 2FA is required. it's why i deleted my account a while ago. it's just not worth maintaining it any more.

You can use passkeys. 2fa can be done with password managers like 1password.

Surely 2FA being required is a good thing?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

for devs, yes, but for reporters? maybe make it optional

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Fair, maybe they could make it a requirement only if you have a repository.
