I think once Forgejo gets ActivityPub integration working it will really help for migration. I know federated platforms like Mastodon struggled with adoption because I think a lot of folks struggled to wrap their heads around the fact that there's no "default instance" and they have to choose their own instance, but hopefully for a programming crowd that won't be an issue. It would massively help with the "well I could move to a different website but there's no obvious second choice I can move to" issue; you can just head to any Forgejo instance and interact with any other federated instance.

    Right! I am so excited to see SUSE, Fedora, KDE, GNOME, Mozzilla, the free desktop foundation, GNU, the linux kernel group and i imagine many more all have stand alone git forges for many of their projects. If I could hit any git forge and explore and interact with all of these groups at once PLUS independent projects would be amazing to me.

    Also large orgs like governments also could more meaningfully engage with othet orgs and sub orgs
