I think that it would be good to mirror the Lemmy repositories to a FOSS alternative (e.g. Codeberg) - sh.itjust.worksCurrently, the Lemmy Project only uses Github for its repositories related to
Lemmy’s development (e.g. Lemmy [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy], Lemmy-UI
[https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui]). GitHub is a proprietary service, and it
is owned by Microsoft. These facts open the door for a myriad of potential
issues across the ecosystem, and community. I would like to clarify, though,
that I don’t think that it would be a wise decision, currently, to remove Github
as the primary location for development, but I would think that it would be a
good move to mirror Lemmy’s repositories to a FOSS service (e.g. Codeberg). I
personally would advocate for the use of Codeberg, as it is entirely open
source, and non-profit, and they are currently working on implementing
federation [https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59] (through
ActivityPub) – all these things, I think, align well with Lemmy’s role in the
wider community, and its more general philosophy. In the future, I would ideally
hope for a permanent move to such a service, but, in the meantime, I think it
would, at the very least, be a wise, if not only benevolent, move. — I decided
to post this here, as I felt that it didn’t seem appropriate to post it as an
issue in any of the Lemmy repos.
