First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

Yeah, good thought. The only reason I haven't is just because I worry that moving constantly might deter people from using any of my FOSS projects. Just seems like it could be considered a red flag (a sign of a "bad" or poorly-managed project) to some. (And... well... given that I didn't do the research when I moved those projects, it wouldn't be an entirely inaccurate conclusion to draw.)

Oh, I guess also I'd need to log back into my Github and change everything that says "moved to Gitlab" to say "moved to Codeberg" and update links. (I literally force-pushed to overwrite the entire history of my Github projects with a single commit each with just a README that says it moved to Gitlab with a link.)

Plus, if I really looked into it, I might decide I'd prefer to self-host on something like Gitea.

I guess all that to say I'd definitely want to put more thought into it before migrating any particular place a second time. Doing the actual move is indeed the easy part, but there's a lot of thought and research to do before that. And a lot of meta-considerations to take into account.

Sounds like you like Codeberg, though. Just out of curiosity, what sold you on Codeberg?

Basically the fact that they are in Europe and for now they are free (even if I am planning to contribute some euros) and without all the "every site need to be a social network" facade (like Github).
All the features I need are present and I were not using the missing one anyway (like the CI). And I like to support an EU company ;-)

Additionally it is a couple of years that I am trying to move away from US companies for every service I use, the move from Gitlab to Codeberg is the last one and came natural.
