Fuck. No other source forge supports groups or orgs with hierarchical projects 🫤 Gitea and Forgejo went hard on being github clones, so they're off the list. Are there any other alternatives? I don't want to have to bash together scripts to make something...

The chances of a deal are said to be weeks away, if not non-existent.
What kind of non-sentence is that?
It's what they most not the least
It's an existing sentence if it's not non-exisent.
Big if true and big.

I feel like sourcehut really ought to be mentioned more. It federates issue and PRs by email and has a wonderful interface while not having any ads—which is why hosting one's own repo (and their CI and IRC but nothing else) requires $2 a month, unfortunately.
Using email for anything is a non-feature for me. I want nothing to do with that outdated, confusing piece of tech that has been shoved in all sorts of places it doesn't belong

I don't think it makes any sense to mention source hut because none of the features you mentioned are killer features (or relevant. Why should I care about implementation details of feature tracking?) and it completely fails to address GitLab's main value proposition: it's CICD system.
Anyone can put up any ticketing system. They are a dime a dozen. Some version control systems even ship with their own. CICD is a whole different ballgame. It's very hard to put together a CICD system that's easy to manage and has a great developer experience. Not even GitHub managed to pull that off. GitLab is perhaps the only one who pulled this off. A yams file with a dozen or so lines is all it takes to get a pipeline that builds, tests, and delivers packages, and it's easy to read and understand what happens. On top of that, it's trivial to add your own task runners hosted anywhere in the world, in any way you'd like. GitLab basically solved this problem. That's why people use it.
I use gitlab ci mainly and dabble in github actions. Can you clarify how “Not even Github managed to pull that off”? IIRC, actions is quite featureful and it’s open-source, so I assume that can be run with self-hosted runners as well.
Yep, at my previous job I moved a pretty complex build system from Jenkins to github actions. It worked fine and was much simpler to maintain.
And yes there are ways to run github actions on your own machine, but I haven't tried it.

Time to federate repos?
For code hosting, doesn't that just mean you're self-hosting + others can utilize you space for a backup?

I hope they get true federation up running soon.
Absolutely.
I'll self host my own forgejo instance soon.
It’s also what codeberg uses under the hood for those that don’t self host.

I keep basically all of my shit on Gitlab, so depending on who they sell it to, that might be a goodbye. I've really enjoyed the platform, but if it goes into hands of either some clueless business people, data aggregator, or "AI-first" bullshit, i'm migrating to something else.
You shouldn't wait because it's going to happen. I moved all of my projects off of Github and Gitlab, and now self-hosting my own gitea instance. It's been great and never looked back!

Come to Codeberg! I'm a member of the co-op and we're not for sale.
I've been casually taking a look at it for a bit, so it's definitely on the radar
Edit: Overall i’m happy, at first proper glance, but not having access to even barebones CI is kind of a pain. I can’t really deploy my own at the moment, and having to request access to their own Woodpecker instance is something that seems unlikely to be approved

I'm in the same boat. I migrated all my stuff to Gitlab the day it was announced that Github was being acquired by Microsoft. I hadn't even really heard of Codeberg at the time. So I migrated to Gitlab.
And it sounds now like there's a high likelikhood I'll need to move it all again.
I've had my stuff on Gitlab way before that ever even happened, just because I've already had issues with the platform before, and knew it would eventually change hands. Shame it'll likely happen again with this too
