Donate to the Lemmy project, but also look at donating to your instance / instance admin. It ain't free to host and operate this stuff.

Sexy loads.
They're not supposed to, and don't call me friend, buddy.
EVERYTHING by default. Also working on "discover only" for searching without the subscribe-to-everything. That said: It's far less than 3GB per day for EVERYTHING I can see, plus: you don't HAVE to keep it forever. Were you doing something that got other than text?
Technically no. Any user could. I wouldn't recommend it though, as it will subscribe you to every community.
Too late, it is.
Having multiple accounts isn't the issue IMO. It's communication about centralization / decentralization. There is confusing and mixed messaging about the difference between "Lemmy" and "Beehaw." Just like there is between "Mastodon" and "mastodon.socal."
Joe public's perception of participation in social networks is based on brand: "See my post on Facebook," "reply to my tweet," "did you see that subreddit?"
It needs to be clearer that's not how things work here. There are things you gain from decentralization, but also things you lose. People will always want the best of both worlds.
It's a combination of software and scalability issues. There's no ONE thing the lemmy developers can code that will magically fix it, and there's not ONE thing the admins can do to make the current code run on the currently deployed infrastructure. The software was not tested to work at the volume and scale we're seeing between the top 5 instances, and not all of the admins are prepared to work through it. It requires a lot of "togetherness" to change and test the code with "right-sized" resource and operations management. Pretty mature stuff for a rag-tag group of reddit refugees. :)
Right now, lemmy.world's admin team is probably doing the best job of collaboration and communication (props to everyone else too.) Prioritizing the issues and focusing on them for the sale of the actual users is the key. Some admins are just expecting the next upgrade to fix everything without being involved. Blaming the software is not the solution. Eventually that might be a good position, but this early in the game it just won't work. Everyone is still working hard!
Lemmy was written an tested at what is essentially: "raspberry-pi scale" and has been forced to make the maturity jump to "could-scale," practically overnight. It sucks the growth isn't smooth, but it is totally understandable.
tl;dr There is no github issue because there isn't one problem in code that can fix it.
I think it’s a known issue. All of the admins of all the instances are working hard to try and cope. ;)
Is there a bot for polls?
Nah. I know my stuff. This is for sure the Revolution.
Does the default CSP do anything to mitigate this?
