Not sure if someone mentioned it already but I also used bitbucket in the past and found it very easy to use with a similar offering as github.
We use it at work and it's fine, but they just removed the issue tracker and forced us over to Jira.

Don't think open submission feedback is worth much anymore, at least not the amount of effort it requires to curate it. Having friction still seems like a great way to get decent feedback nowadays rather than needing to manually curate 100s of issues where 98% of them are spam/garbage.
That's fine if the projects are in a single place (e.g. GitHub) as you only need to create one account. If every project requires its own username/password just to report a bug, I may do that for the first 2 or 3, but not for every project. I'm also unlikely to create accounts on hosting platforms I don't intend on using outside of reporting the single bug.
That's fine, maybe they don't want casual users like you to be part of their community. There is a reason to prefer group coherence over availability. Availability doesn't actually help the group for most online communities, it's actively a hinderance.

Looks neat! I'll try your project if you try mine: https://getprobed.chat/
Thanks! Yours looks good too! What would you say is the difference with Slack connect? I find slack connect to be pretty painful once you have n > 50 channels
A big difference between Probed and Slack Connect is being able to create public community channels where all your users can talk to each other. You also get a feedback system, a public roadmap, and other features to help foster that community-driven growth.

#324In my opinion the most underestimated git forge is radicle.

If you know GitHub actions then you’ll immediately understand Forgejo actions. It was designed that way intentionally. There are some differences, but at least for me not enough to warrant any pitchforks. If you have advanced use cases you might be more frustrated, but I’m not aware of any off the top of my head. I think my biggest complaint is that they haven’t exposed action logs over the API, so I can’t build tool…
A basic API to access Actions logs was added in Forgejo v16. `/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/jobs/{job_id}/logs`
Thanks to you I’ve now upgraded to v16, and can confirm the logs API works beautifully!

If that is too long, you have an attention span problem. That is your issue to deal with, not ours. Or from another angle, how would you say it more concisely? Preferably without using AI to summarise.
If anything it seems like you are the one with an attention span problem when you can't remember that he posted the correct consise definition earlier in this thread. Being a dick when justified is counter-productive, but being a dick while also being the one who is confused is a way worse look.

> 4. Do you just want to host repositories? an ssh connection and git --bare init on your ssh accessible server works just fine
“Just” is a four letter word and a trap our industry repeatedly falls into. https://sgringwe.com/2019/10/10/Please-just-stop-saying-just

#328What about a mailing list and `git format-patch`?

I think they mean the "just" in "Do you just want to host repositories?", implying that it's never "just" hosting repositories, and the needs will continue to grow beyond what the simple solution offers.

I must be illiterate. Ofc. Sorry
