For me so far the biggest thing holding me back is the lack of CI/CD.

You can bring your own Woodpecker CI or Forgejo Actions runners. The cheapest solution is to just run them at home in a VM. Codeberg is a community driven project, which provides CI for FOSS projects, and it's a bit unfair to expect them to provide free compute for random and/or private projects. For what it's worth, I've had better experience with running self-hosted Forgejo Actions runners compared to self-hosted G…

Actually, they want to implement federation using forgefed [1] into forgejo, the underlying software. [1] https://forgefed.org/

Maybe you're eagerness to sing praises to the forgefed project overshadowed the common knowledge that git is already distributed but, git is already distributed. :P I think that's what parent was sarcastically trying to imply.

It exists yes, but you need to request access to it (which is manually reviewed), comes with a bunch of restrictions and it’s a limited resource. I have several projects I’d want to move over but thats enough of a barrier for me to lose interest. There’s also Forgejo Actions but I assume paying for your own runner is probably more expensive than GitHub.

The first 16 words of your comment makes it very smarmy,v and not including them would have improved it. GP's snark is misplaced, version control is but a subset of what forges offer, git has no social layer[1], and GitHub has a monopoly on this. A distributed social layer via ActivityPub would be a vast improvement over what we have now - at best, non-comprehensive one way synching of issues from GitHub into mirror…

conversely, what's the purpose of using Codeberg over Github?

I too would like to understand why. Perhaps the only one I care for is that I would not like to give too much power to Microsoft in choosing who can contribute. Others have issue with their code being used in AI training, but I find no issue in that myself, my code is not exclusively mine anyway and I have no say in how it is being used.
