    Forgejo is implementing ForgeFed [1], which is AP based and supports creating PRs, issues, etc. across instances.

    Surprised no one mentioned ForgeFed [0]:

    > ForgeFed is a federation protocol for software forges and code collaboration tools for the software development lifecycle and ecosystem. This includes repository hosting websites, issue trackers, code review applications, and more. ForgeFed provides a common substrate for people to create interoperable code collaboration websites and applications.

    It's based on ActivityPub [1], the same protocol that powers Mastodon [2], Lemmy [3], and Pixelfed [4].

  • Firefox development is moving from Mercurial to Git

    Yeah I have to disagree. I even host my own GitLab (because I heavily prefer its CI/CD over GitHub's Actions), but if I wanted to contribute to your project, I'm far more likely to do it on GitHub than to convince myself to create yet another GitLab account on like the sixth instance.

    Until alternatives finally implement something like ForgeFed (https://forgefed.org/) which would allow me to simply contribute with something like @[email protected], I'm gonna continue preferring GitHub for my public contributions and still use GitLab privately.

    If you don't mind me asking since you're here: will you be implementing ForgeFed in Gitness [0]? My sense is that federation is our best hope for breaking GitHub's network effects, and I'd love to see more projects like yours join the protocol.

  • Gitlab's plan to support ActivityPub for merge requests
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Aug 2023
    From the comments, Forgejo is also already working on implementing ForgeFed, an ActivityPub extension specifically designed for software forges [0]. Judging from the issue, it looks like they're well on their way [1].

    I have to say, I'm not super into the idea of social media, but this is a use for federation I approve of wholeheartedly. The friction of having to create accounts on X forges (where X is the number of projects that self-host GitLab) is a huge moat for GitHub, and federation could solve that very handily and create an environment where FOSS projects can feasibly host their own code away from Microsoft's control without horribly inconveniencing everyone who wants to participate.
