      I have no idea how this wasn’t a lower hanging fruit. If theres one social service I want federated, its a git server.

        These are large existing code-bases that where developed without federation in mind. Gitlab also started working on AP federation, but like with Forgejo it looks like a multi-year project that it involves a lot of refactoring of the code.

          I suppose I meant so far as priorities, I wasn’t clear. Hosting OSS seems like it would be one of the first things to federate imo.

        A central search engine would be a great start. Search across gitlab, github, codeberg etc.

        What even is federation in the context of a distributed vcs like Git? Does it mean federation of the typical dev ops tools (issues, PRs, etc.)?

        Well, I mean, it’s been like that from the beginning. You don’t open a pull request to the Linux kernel through a web UI, you tell git to send Linus an email with your changes.
