We do have a federated GitHub alternative. Perhaps not too mature yet, but it does indeed exist. Forgejo

I just discovered that this is Codeberg - I've seen a lot of projects there and I had no idea that it was an instance of Forgejo

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago

Originally, it wasn't. Codeberg used to run Gitea. Forgejo is a fork of that, which came later.

Yup, I've been using Codeberg more over the past months.

Not really federated. You can't, for example, raise issues or set PR requests from another instance.

Yep its not nearly done....but I have a server and running through testing. git itself is fairly federated, but the support structures (PRs/MRs, review process, easy wiki/issue tracking, etc...) is where the real work is at.

I'm running a server as well, but have not tested federation (yet).

Nice! Them and gitea are really stable!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I thought codeberg was just a really well maintained and customized gitea instance...?

They have been doing so for a while now.
