One of GitHub's most staple contributors announced they are abandoning ship due to constant outages. GitHub's COO responds, promising change, but is it all too little too late?
Love the idea of a federated github, but I could only find this list of instances, and from my basic test it looks like the search doesn’t bring up projects from other instances? Unless I’m doing something wrong.
Forgejo is the best alternative. They are also working on ActivityPub support, so different Forgejo instances can communicate with each other.
Codeberg is one of the many Forgejo instances.

They are working on it. They haven’t enabled it yet. And afaik the only thing that works atm is favorite count.
