Hey you, yes you 🫵🏻! You created that awesome project on #GitHub or #GitLab. What if Trump cut off connections between the US and #Europe . What would you do without European developers? It's time to think about a fallback solution!

This link is a #GitHub or #Gitlab to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de mirroring tutorial

I much prefer to use Codeberg as the primary and mirror the repos to github

    I would love to do it this way but so far for any of my projects, github is the only platform that I received contributions (issues, code contributions, etc).

    Unfortunately I feel this missing critical mass is a real sticking point for many small projects (think 10-100s of github ‘stars’). I hosted the projects simultaneously on other platforms and other projects exclusively on other platforms and never got engagement from the community except for a single heroic individual sending a patch per email.

    I get that breaking this critical mass is part of the point and I am the dude complaining that my friends are all on whatsapp but it seems even more deeply entrenched here to me, starting with service-dependent issue collaboration. Only ways out I see currently are decentralised issue discussion à la sr.ht mailing lists, direct tracking in the repo like git-bug or federation/2-way mirroring of the centralised ones.

    Until then, I don’t foresee this monopoly budging.
