Reddit Exodus lead me to Lemmy and i am realy happy about it. Where should GitHub Exodus lead me to?

I think Forgejo with federation will take over in another 10 years. Microsoft and others will be forced to copy it similar to meta and bluesky corporate options adding federation.

Forgejo/Codeberg is also a non-profit cooperative so there should sustainability of mission there.

Gitea?

Want to mention tangled.sh

I created an account, but then realized I could use my existing bluesky account that's registered to my own PDS. Intriguing.

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/

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.

Got banned for telling some one "fuck you you neonazi apologizer". Apparently it was permanent banning offense, even after appealing. Lol.
They didn't ban the other dude. I guess he technically didn't say anything that was violated the rules of reddit. All he did was justify the actions of white supremacist in the past for all the non-white people colonization, murdering and plundering, describing it as a product of time, but at the same timez he was also not okay with white people colonization.
Funny how things work.
Im here now because of a reddit ban.
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
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

Your best bet would be Codeberg if it weren't getting attacked by Anubis-bypassing AI bots.

Forgejo, Codeberg, Gitlab, or self-host.

should be pointed out that codeberg is just a hosted and branded instance of forgejo (nothing wrong with it just pointing it out)

Codeberg

They want everything to be public with an open source license fwiw
- Currently, I'm doing:
  Codeberg for anything decent that can be public and open source
  sr.ht for shitty or private stuff
  Although, I'm planning to get off sr.ht long term because...
git.gay is also a cool git host
- Idk sounds kinda gay

Chatgpt lol

https://sr.ht/ ?

https://codeberg.org/ for personal or small FOSS project
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

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.

Around how long ago was this? IIRC Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.
- Almost 3 years now : https://code.blender.org/2022/07/gitea-diaries-part-1/

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
- Got a source on that? The co-founder just stepped down from the CEO role recently, due to cancer. If his replacement is shady, I'd like to know.
- BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!!!

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".
- I always interpreted that to be in an open source sharing code kinda social projects for the betterment of everyone. What it became was people spamming PRs to get minor fixes or merged to pad their resume. Showing contribution heat maps like its a an extension of your resume or getting achievements like it's a video game.

I'm OOTL. What's happening with GitHub?

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.

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.

better spelling

Codeberg for sure! I only just made an account on it, but I'm planning to use it :)

I still use GitHub due to the convenience, but a lot of folks on Lemmy like Codeberg. I also setup a Gitea mirror of my GitHub the other day and it’s pretty cool. Easy to self host

Gitea is nice, the gh actions compatability is really handy
I'm following so many good repos, hard to give up GH. But I can always migrate my own I suppose.

I deleted my 13 year old Reddit account and I am so glad I did. They started banning me for the most ridiculous things. I am very vocal about the Israeli genocide and just using the word genocide, was enough for them to temporarily ban me. They follow a zionist agenda and they censor voices that are against genocide. I don't have to talk about Spez, everyone already knows what type of person he is.

My last ban was for "Fostering and promoting race based hate and violence".
My comment resulting in the ban, I believe was "Fuck ICE and anyone who aids that white supremacist gestopo. Fight them via any and all means necessary".
I appealed, and the ban was upheld.
- You didn’t say a wrong word. On the same hand they allows WorldNews and Conservative scum to facilitate hate and incite violence. Reddit deserves to die.

I've been self hosting but various projects have moved to codeberg. I like Savannah as it's more old-school but it's a bit selective about projects.

Codeberg
sourcehut
radicle
self hosted

Isn’t radicle attached to some crypto nonsense?
Edit: I felt bad saying this and then not confirming it, so here you go: https//x.com/radicle/status/1483497327545495555 (I also feel bad about linking to that cesspool, but that’s where the announcement was).

i selfhost gitlab for my own use. its similar to github, but is a bit of a resource hog and the project tracking is a bit wonky to use. i have heard gitea is really low resource usage, but has fewer features.

We run self-hosted versions of both Gitlab (ce and enterprise versions) and Gitea.
They're very different things, but broadly what you say is correct. Gitea is lighter, it comes as a single binary and is really fast in operation. For most people, most of Gitlab's featureset will never be used.
Keeping them up to date:
Gitlab has repos for most distros, so updating is really just letting it update alongside the OS. But it does that every two weeks and is very noisy about reminding all users the second that a new release has dropped. (So I get a bunch of emails about this critical new release) Features seem to change quite often.
Gitea has no repos, and doesn't self-update. However, I've written a script that checks and if it's a new version, then it'll download the new version and replace the single binary.
Both are pretty reliable at not introducing breaking changes when updating, I've not had many issues.
