  • That’s what I’m not so sure about though. Forgejo/codeberg/… projects are already not hard to find through search engines. Add a federated in-forgejo search and you’d be set there.

    And currently the problem indeed is that a forgejo project is on instance X, and you, as a developer only have accounts on Y and Z. But through federation, that would stop mattering, so I don’t get the “it’s where contributors are”: as long as contributors have a single forgejo account anywhere, we’d be good.


  • Yep yep yep. I have forgejo accounts on so many instances (including on my own, 2-person instance which hosts all my personal shit). I’d love to be able to jump into discussions and open PRs on other people’s forges without needing a new account.

    Forgejo in particular is just a fantastic forge. It’s surprisingly feature-rich, and so, so fast compared to GitHub, even on very lowspecced hardware. I honestly think that if federation is properly implemented, then in the long run, GitHub will become obsolete for FOSS projects.



















  • Actually… From a data-loss POV, it’s actually pretty much fine; since the server only serves an e2ee file anyways, each end device’s data is sufficient to recover everything.

    I.e. if you host Vaultwarden, log into it on your mobile device, save all your logins; then fuck up the server, it doesn’t matter, because your mobile device not only still has everything, but also does not need a server connection to export everything in a way that can then be imported again on a new server installation.
