Where can I discuss tech issues for the Lightning Network?

I've tried search, and looked through some boards, but there doesn't seem to be much since 2017.

You can discuss about lightning network in Development & Technical Discussion while any issue can be discussed in Bitcoin Technical Support.

There’s no dedicated board but I did read about a thread for it though.

Here’s the link to the thread: The Lightning Network FAQ

I guess it's still under the Bitcoin technical board. 
There have been suggestions for a lightning network subboard before here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344184.0, but no positive progress has been made. 
 
I guess that's the reason why Pmalek created this compilation thread for all the existing lightening network threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5345664.0.

If it's more in discussion, i see it more discussed in bitcoin discussion board based on ninjastic.space^[1]. But technicalities are asked in Development & Technical Discussion

There has been released requests for a LN childboard which have not been granted as yet. The chances of such a board is slimmer now cause discussions around it have thinned out of recent.

Where to discuss it will depend on what exactly your post content is about;
• For basic discussions: Bitcoin discussion board/Beginners & help
• For more complex subjects: Bitcoin technical support/Development & technical discussion

Thanks guys.

I've got a spare VPN hosting plan, and I was contemplating running a lightning node on it. However, it looks as if I will have to run a full Bitcoin node alongside it, so the storage cost would rule that out.

I've got a spare VPN hosting plan, and I was contemplating running a lightning node on it. However, it looks as if I will have to run a full Bitcoin node alongside it, so the storage cost would rule that out.

How about running a pruned node instead and determining how much storage space you want to give to the node yourself. I remember reading a long time ago that it was possible to do with the lightning network as well, but it required some extra configuration. People who know more about this than I do could certainly help you.
