A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
1) Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
2) No spam posting.
3) Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
4) Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
5) Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
6) No trolling.

Git is already distributed. Maybe there should be a way for forge software like GitLab or GitHub to fork stuff from each other via UI, but you can already do that by cloning and pushing the repo to somewhere else.
Both gitlab and gitea/forgejo has plans to add federation. But it's been planned for years now and I'm not sure how close we are to actually getting it.
Besides, git itself is federated as you create copies of repositories on your computer, just like anyone else. It's just not very "discoverable".
Git itself is already distributed. For federated issues/pull requests, there is the ActivityPub extension ForgeFed. Forgejo ist actively working on implementing it.
