@shoppingtonz that's the idea - federating across forge instances. @forgefed

@Floppy @shoppingtonz

@forgefed can do with some help.

Please refer to my Call to Fediverse, regarding #ForgeFed and #ActivityPub #ForgeFederation status in general.

@bkuhn @downey @Codeberg

Or try @forgejo, the code #forge that #Codeberg is based on.

#Forgejo already has some #ActivityPub-based capabilities e.g. to federate stars, testing the waters for more to come. In their contrib community a whole @forgefed #ForgeFederation initiative is brewing..

The ongoing enshittification of GritHub is getting so bad that I can't even use web archiving sites to see the comments in an issue discussion;

Most of you are probably too old to remember that GH wasn't always the go-to place for publishing source code. There was a time that almost every open source project was hosted on the MySpace of code forges (and the origin of that term), SourceForge.

We've moved en masse before folks, it's time to do it again.

It's been far too long since I haven't updated this properly, but here's a snapshot of some open source communities that have already moved off GritHub;

It seems like forge federation is a harder problem to crack than we thought when BorgSoft bought GH. But I'm still hopeful that one day, many of these forges will interoperate to create the experience of a unified code forging space.
