Gitlab has an open epic issue to implement #ActivityPub. Though initially it looked like it had backing from within the corporation, recently that appeared to have waned when the epic was prematurely closed. Under pressure from the public the epic was later reopened, but Gitlab making clear it should be fully community-contributed and gives no priority to it for their own product development.

#Codeberg is a developer platform based on the #Forgejo code forge software.

#ForgeFed is a protocol specification, an extension of #ActivityPub.

Any #forge can implement ForgeFed and become part of the #fediverse, as it were. This allows devs to interact with projects on remote forge servers as if they were part of their local hub. They can create issues, discuss them, create PR's, define teams.

The social network #Github provides to discover #FOSS projects is now federated.

That is wonderful, and will certainly help keep the initiative going. Thank you 💕

The https://forgefed.org developers are extending the specs, and asking for feedback in the issue trackers on #Codeberg, but none is forthcoming.

As a result large crowds root for @forgefed #forge federation to come along, but it will not happen anytime soon at the current pace.

@nlnet through #NGI0 provide funding to #ForgeFed, #Vervis, #Anvil, and also #Forgejo and these people are bravely forging ahead. More community help is needed though.

Same is true for #Gitlab's federation efforts.
