what i've yet to understand is why nothing seems to have ever shipped, not even a trace of federation.
it's like every time someone attempts it they refuse to make an MVP, instead they work and work until it's 100% ready and just before finishing they have a heart attack like in monty python and the holy grail
what i would do is take an existing project and start by just federating a simple view of repositories, along with likes. Just get something out there so people can see things are happening.
Fully agree. I presume it's way harder than it seems. https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md shows some things as done and many as WIP. Perhaps there's a demo server somewhere with which we can experiment?
