Forge federation can't come soon enough. I love being able to host my own little projects on my own forge, but if anyone intended to open an issue or PR, they would currently need an account on my instance to do so.
Feel like half of lemmy is waiting for forgejo federation, lol.
Heck every conference I go to I pester Gitlab about it. It's always "ehh it's on the road map". Honestly it really is the solution to that problem space
Why would GitLab care!?
Because the network effect is the primary reason GitHub is the defacto forge. There some pretty large FOSS orgs on gitlab though, but it's inherently splintered without federation.
From an enterprise standpoint, there are a surprising amount of organizations so big they have several gitlabs running, but tons of friction again because of the splintered nature that takes up.
They did care, then AI became the time sink.
