Self host or hosted? Self host: forgejo, soft-serve, gitea, bare repos on a server
Hosted: codeberg, gitlab
I can recommend checking out sourcehut https://git.sr.ht/
I also started using Radicle lately, I think it’s a really interesting idea combining ideas from git and bittorrent to create a fully peer-to-peer code collaboration platform https://radicle.xyz/
Your best bet would be Codeberg if it weren’t getting attacked by Anubis-bypassing AI bots.
Codeberg.
I get banned on Reddit about once a week. I don’t even post controversial statements. Lemmy is ten times better. Just wish there were more users.
Im here now because of a reddit ban.
Sometimes I was just being ironic or just joking. A few advertisements were being made over the grounded F-35 in India. I joked that its departure would be like the moon landings all over again and broadcasted similarly all over India.
They hated it. Thought I was being serious. Despite an edit to make it clearer, I still got the Reddit ban hammer.
I deleted my account the same day. A 15 year or more account.
That’s hilarious actually. Didn’t know India got f-35 planes
Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore 😂. And bunch of dead subs. Really different place that it used to be. Lemmy is much better place
You could self-host GitLab, though if you’re looking for exposure it’s probably not the best.
I think the GitLab CEO said something dumb recently
Blender developers moved from Phabricator to their own Gitea instance, about two years ago now. They worked to bring some features to Main that were missing apparently (can’t tell you which), and as far as I can tell it seems to be functionally identical.
Codeberg
They want everything to be public with an open source license fwiw
Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault’s work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone’s public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.
Well shit. I will still self-host sourcehut because it’s so cool from a technical standpoint, but now with disgust for its author
git.gay is also a cool git host
Idk sounds kinda gay
Ok my deleted message was: “Saying gay as a synonym for bad or weird is homophobic.”
But I’m not really sure if it is in the context you were saying in, this could be taken as a stance in terms of making fun of people who say gay as a synonym for bad or weird. In which case it is totally ok to be mean to homophobes.
I’m kinda confused is this homophobic or not?
To be gay is absolutely completely 100% fine. But it’s also, like, really gay. Does that help?
I think they were just making a joke because git.gay.
As in, not as bad or weird but more making fun of the homophobic “it’s gay” argument that used to be used.
I do the same thing with my spousy occasionally. We’re gay as hell, so it’s funny as shit when I stroll by their room and just say, “Gaaaaaaaay~”. Lol.
I just had a pretty intense argument with my friends about this and we ultimately came to the same conclusion as you pretty much.

- https://gitlab.com/ for more complex projects (requiring issue tracker, CI, deploy, etc…)
I just migrated my personal projects to Codeberg (and sent a donation their way too!). As soon as I update the origins on my servers I’ll be deleting my GitHub account.
The one FOSS project I contribute to was already being hosted on GitLab to begin with. And my work just announced we’ll be migrating to GitLab as well.
Today is a good day
I just hope people wake up to the fact that at this point GitHub became a social network that just has a code repository attached to it. Anything you care about should be replicated and self host where you can.
GitHub always claimed to be some kind of social network, their initial slogan was “social coding”.
Codeberg for sure! I only just made an account on it, but I’m planning to use it :)
You could host your own gitea if your into that kind of thing.
I’ve done a bit of research and forjego is seemingly the better version of gitea.
Its a fork of Gitea by the community after Gitea started doing some suspicious things, I can’t remember what they are.
i never heard of forjego so i looked it up, feel a bit stupid now after just migrating to self hosted gitea ;_;
Apparently gitea was bought by a private company without listening to community feedback on this decision.
Forgejo is Gitea with federation (work in progress)
I’m OOTL. What’s happening with GitHub?
Github now reports to Microsoft’s AI division directly
Is that true?
Yep… It was all over mastodon the other day when the CEO quit!
Yeah, and don’t forget they work with ICE
Microsoft bought GitHub like back in 2017.
I knew that part and assumed they were training on repos, but I didn’t know they linked them so directly internally. Like this is the most important asset. Train on every push kinda thing.
I was expecting that as well but somehow Microsoft botched it. Training on failed commits should be the most invaluable asset. Yet their internally developed models (Phi) are lagging back of the competitors.
In a one word… Enshittification
movement of jah people
What’s jah people?
It’s a reference to Bob Marley’s Exodus
Gitlab
GitLab vs Codeberg, go!
Codeberg (and Forgejo in general) is the nicest code forge I have ever used.
GitLab has horrible UI/UX. Is slow as hell and so heavy that self-hosting is a strain on compute resources. The layout of the sidebar makes finding what you care about slow.
Forgejo is slick as hell, very light on resources, and does virtually everything GitLab or GitHub does. Looks pretty much identical to GitHub with a clean coat of paint, but the UI runs so much faster in the browser.
The only downside to Codeberg and Forgejo is having to roll your own CI actions.
Forgejo makes migrating projects such a breeze too. You can transfer everything you have on GitHub in under 10 minutes. Forgejo is also working on implementing the ForgeFed spec, which will enable federated projects where people on other instances can create issues and otherwise interact with your project.
Seriously try out Forgejo with a couple projects, there is nothing you will miss about GitHub.
GitLab: a lot of cool features, well-integrated, polished. Downsides: resource hog, open-core model (some features locked behind a paid license when self-hosting)
Forgejo (the thing that powers codeberg): it’s federated & lighter on resources usage. Downsides: some features still missing/in development
No experience with Codeberg, personally. My team switched to GitLab at work a few months back and it’s been excellent. They are plenty of features to love, but the better CI/CD support and private package repositories were the deciding factor for us.
I also have good experiences with GitLab. It was very flexible and capable, yet focused. Codeberg seems to be a nice place, but I had trouble finding out its features as clearly as sourcehut had stated theirs. Sourcehut seems really good!
