Lichess' Chess Puzzles need to be improved

Hey!

I used to play a lot on chess.com and there I played a lot of their puzzles and I can say that theirs are much better then here on lichess. None are faulty and NM Chess-Network, who is a pretty popular chess youtuber plays puzzles there instead of on lichess probably because of these reasons. Lichess needs more of those a few pieces puzzles which are really hard to come by because of the fact that they are from other players games. And there are some puzzles which are pretty ridiculous, like there is a mate in 7 a really hard one that comes with a variation for a 1750 rated puzzle. I think that these puzzles should be tested first before going here, as some players might get angry because they lost rating on a faulty or too hard puzzle. Something needs to change if you want people to stay here and play tactic puzzles.
I think the puzzles here are just fine. the ones at chess.com are too simple. A puzzle needs to be difficult. I agree though that a very small number of them are faulty.
We pay for the chess puzzles (cost breakdown) I dont know but if it costs $504 a year i dont think it can be that bad
