An opportunity for Golang devs to work on a great FOSS project with funding: Bringing Gitea to the Fediverse with ActivityPub support and the ForgeFed protocol…
If this were done, I’d 100% be in favor of moving lemmy’s issue tracking to gitea.
Imagine users being able to report issues straight from lemmy with the very same lemmy accounts 😍
That would be great! Gitea themself is also planning for a long while to dogfood gitea for their own development. I think this move away from github should happen one of these days.
As of now this project is underway. There’s a grant application (long thread) and some open issues / PR’s in the works already. Details are on the FedeProxy forum.
Nice!

You could donate to https://opencollective.com/gitea but there is no way to earmark a donation for a specific purpose. Or you could donate to https://liberapay.com/fedeproxy/ and earmark the donation for the implementation of federation in Gitea (expenses can be audited later on).
Cool, thanks.
That’s great. I was going to provide you all the places I know about that would be helpful. But I have to ask first on FedeProxy forum: https://forum.fedeproxy.eu/t/advancing-federation-in-gitea/240/7
Thank you :)
This would be a really nice way to get projects to finally move off of github. But imo they have to finally add a proper access control system to make this usable.
This acceleration on the open ActivityPub implementation in Gitea is thanks to the folks at FedeProxy who set apart the funds. FedeProxy will take the possibilities of Forge federation well beyond this still. I encourage to follow them, and read on their forum what’s cooking.
