I've been getting acquainted with #GitLab after listening to the latest episode of FLOSS Weekly. My jaw is on the floor. I can't believe I hadn't tried it before. So many options... And the fact that you can self host it is invaluable. #GitHub is way too centralized. #GitLab looks like a better option.
What does this mean? Well, it would be nice to take in a few more maintainers to ensure the site code gets some desperately needed improvements, for example. There are several things that have been requested by community members which I (Jason Robinson) haven't had time to implement due to work ongoing with #Socialhome.
My personal wish would be to make The-Federation.info even more into a nice landing page for all #TheFederation / #Fediverse projects. This would mean not being constrained to just following servers running the #Diaspora protcol, but also including servers from #ActivityPub and #OStatus side, for example. The information is available out there, if not in exactly the same format, at least to some level.
If you are a #federated social web enthusiast, possibly even a maintainer of one of these projects and interested in improving the site, please get in touch, for example by replying here or chatting on FreeNode #thefederation channel, or directly to me. Please don't use private messages since those are not supported by this account yet.
It needs to be updated (pictures/content) and new elements need to be added. Your contributions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and help! #Mastalab#Wiki#Github
@majestyx Bezüglich der Frage "Was sollen wir denn nehmen?" gibt es auch gute Antworten, aber allein diese Fragestellung zeigt ja auch, dass man nur die Aufgabe der Überlegung komplett an den Fragenden zurück spiegeln will. Die Antwort ist bereits gegeben, leider. Ebenso wie sich sehr Viele in der "Open-Source"-Szene scheinbar nur noch auf #Github verlassen. Fällt dieses aus oder hat Probleme: Keine Quellen mehr für die Allgemeinheit verfügbar. Spreche ich das bei einem Projekt an, geht aber wieder eine ähnliche Fragerunde los obgleich man durchweg alternative Repositories bis hin zu einem komplett Eigenen anlegen könnte. Es passt halt Alles sehr in ein ignorantes, reaktionäres Weltbild, auch bei quelloffener Software und entsprechenden Projekten.
Da bin ich eher schon bei sehr "kleinen Schritten" wie dem steten Ansprechen, auch wenn es sehr mühsam bleibt.
The problem with this setup is that Gitlab is very slow to pull changes, it's far from a live sync.
The advantage is that I'm primarily using an ethical libre service (#Framasoft), whilst taking advantage of features I've only found on the wannabe big player (#Gitlab), and still being having a presence on the place with the biggest network effects (#Github)...

Without further information, I would assume the reverse. Just because someone's #Github profile says they are active participants in one or more projects does not mean I can assume they will work well in my organization.
@ckeen From the description on the #github PR, they sound like a self-curated subset of your subscriptions. So you can subscribe to lots of people, including noisy ones, then watch your lists instead of your main timeline to cut down on the noise.
