It seems like @forgefed's grant funding ran out and the entire project has just been left hanging, unfinished. This is a potentially important project, so this is really frustrating.
But really, anything important enough to get grant funding probably ought to keep going after the grant funding ends. Maybe grant-making orgs could provide some kind of support for projects transitioning out of funded work sprints, back into volunteer-driven coordination?
So much for the federated merge requests via #ActivityPub.

When I called in https://lwn.net/Articles/963427/ @sir position as the pragmatic one, I was called disingenuous.
(And, BTW, https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9225 doesn’t seem to be finished either).

In that case, I have the perfect task for you (yes, you!): https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9282

ActivityPub is going to be the main topic on what progress is being made.
That being said I was not very successful in finding recent progress in regards to how ie. "Forgejo is implementing federation." as it says on forgefed.org.
This is old...though not too old I hope...
"Add ActivityPub Person follow from distant #8720"

okies, decided, today's the day... gonna start moving my repositories to codeberg... notabug.org's too consistently inconsistently available. n_n a little sad. mmmmmmuch fondness for notabug.org. ... i wonder, if i leave the repository off the end of the url in codeberg's migration tool... does it allow migrating everything in one go? :3
or should i skip codeberg, and go full forgejo? :)

Crisis averted, #GitLab reopened the epic on #ActivityPub / #ForgeFed implementation. 😊
They made it clear, though, that they're not going to do it themselves in any foreseeable future, their "current focus isn't in this area", so it's up to the community to implement it. As I mentioned in the issue, I won't be able to come back to it until I'm done bootstraping the business I'm working on, so anyone who wants to see it done faster should feel free to jump in.
