    Codeberg.org would be a good option, especially as it runs on Gitea which is working on enabling ActivityPub federation right now.

      Yep, we have 3 code mirrors.

      I’d happily push for moving our issue tracking off github once a federated alternative becomes stable.

        Oh. That is good then. A lot of free and open source projects are still hosted on proprietary services, like NewPipe.

    I entirely agree, but there’s currently limitations with selfhosted forges. It’s hard to ask everyone who wants to report a bug or submit a patch to create yet another account on yet another forge. in that sense, mailing list driven development is very good.

    i personally would suggest to wait until gitea supports federation: as soon as it becomes possible to receive contributions from well-moderated forges like codeberg.org tildegit.org forge.chapril.org (or even gitlab instances like 0xacab.org if forgefriends project is successful) then it will be very interesting for a broad project like lemmy to have its own forge. in the meantime, we’re stuck in this status quo where we all need a github account and i think in the specific case of lemmy it’s a fair trade off

    If that happens

    git remote set-url origin newurl
    

    Not saying self hosting the remote is not a good idea, just that the risk you mention is not so dramatic
