    For one thing, more FOSS focused. It’s lighter/faster for me than a self hosted gitlab, there is nothing hidden behind a paywall, they are working on some nice activitypub integration, actions are really handy (yes it’s a bit of yaml soup), codeberg is using and supporting it, a better focus on security and stability than gitea (where it forked from), the ux is clean, and that’s about what I can think of off the top of my head.

      I’m down with all of those but possibly activitypub integration. Does that add to the product or is it a deviation from the core product?

        Imo, an add.

        Creating a bug report or feature request can be done without having to create an account, and the backend tools (including blocking instances) are being completed first.

        It’s not like it’s forced either. You can just run it local and have no federation (once the feature is out of course, right now you wouldn’t have it regardless).
