Fingers crossed it’s going to be compatible with what ForgeFed is working hard for years 🤞.
Gitea/Forgejo/Codeberg have ongoing work implementing this.

I’d be unsurprised if they’re using ForgeFed proper

That’s freaking rad!
I hope federation becomes the new standard for interoperability all over the Internetsj_zero 1 year ago
There's lots of talk about "web 3" as regarding some crypto nonsense, but I think activitypub is the next step of the web, where different platforms communicate and you can have your home and you reach out to everywhere you want to be, and it's all integrated at your home.

Exactly. The real web 3 is decentralization, with the conveniences of web 2, but with the decentralization of web 1.

This is a great idea. Gitlab has too many features (bloated) for the average selfhoster. I hope forgery/gitea also follow the gitlab to enable activitypub

As soon as Forgejo and Gitlab are able to share issue tracking between them, Github is so doomed in the open-source community

Is there a clone of Lemmy on Github or Codeberg?

Would’ve taken source control and social ‘engineering’ (sure I should be using a better term) to be disparate, why is this good ?

I’m not really following. Can you explain why it would be better? I’ve never had an issue using GitHub.

GitHub is a great platform, which has championed open-source for decades, now. I don’t think anybody has anything to blame them for (except people not liking the idea that AI is trained on their code, like sibling mentioned), it’s more about fears it may go bad. Because basically, it’s where most of the code of the world is hosted, it’s a single point of failure. People also have questioned the pertinence of having all open-source code hosted on a proprietary platform. And the acquisition by Microsoft also had a chilling effect on those of us who remember Internet Explorer 6’s Microsoft more than VSCode’s Microsoft.
For those reasons, it is desirable for those who love the idea of decentralization to look up for alternatives. But even there, it’s perfectly fine to stay on GitHub, “decentralizing” doesn’t require everybody to leave. :) Plus, even when using an other forge, it’s still good to keep publishing mirrors on GitHub for visibility and discoverability, currently.

I know a big sticking point for many people is that all code on GitHub feeds into CoPilot.
I don't understand how this would help anyone who's still stuck on GitHub for whatever reason to be able to escape GitHub. GitHub likely won't support this. I guess it depends on why someone is 'forced' to use GitHub still. I've seen different reasons mentioned.
