why not just use codeberg?

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 64 points 15 hours ago (8 children)

Digital sovereignty. Codeberg is funding development of forgejo. Forgejo will federate to other instances. So you can have your own repo and someone on another forgejo can interact remotely. So no need for centralized platforms anymore. Power of the Fediverse! :-)

So ELI5, my projects are hosted on Codeberg - they can be accessed through the NL's new instance? Are they mirrored there, or is it just a redirect to the Codeberg host? or???

Instead of a company owning the monopoly on the data and the infrastructure, the ActivityPub protocol allows for federated instances to communicate with one another so while you might sign in and join through one site, you might find something interesting coming from one of the interested. Same protocol that Lemmy, Mastadon, BlueSky, PeerTube, and some other platforms run that allows for Programming.dev to communicate with Lemmy.ML of Feddit.it

And... is that the present implementation of Codeberg? Are they running ActivityPub protocol? Is the infrastructure federated?

[–] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 12 hours ago

No, they expressed intent to implement it using ActivityPub and there has been some work, but it's still far away from being useful.

Not yet, but it is their plan..
