Github flagged my account and now requires SMS verification (lemmy.world)

I have just created my accounts for 3 days and Github flagged my account and now requires SMS verification. I haven't posted or commented nothing on github.

Is there a solution for this without SMS verification? Has anyone succeeded with online temporary phone number for SMS verification?

Is there any other platform other than github for submitting issues? I reckon it is time to turn away from github like how we switch from reddit to lemmy

Depends on the developers. Some rely entirely on the repo's Issues, but many have alternative channels like Telegram, Matrix, Discord, etc.

Many are doing exactly that. Sites like Codeberg are popular, if your project is FOSS.

Or you can host your own Gitea or Forgejo instance. The latter is what Codeberg runs on.
