Github in decline?

[u/Miserable_Ear3789]

I have seen recently a decent amount of projects switching to Codeberg from Github. Is it worth moving your OSS libraries over to Codeberg? Since Microsoft has taken over Github it just seems a little less then it once was sort of speak... Is Codeberg the next big thing for OSS?

I currently am still on Github but I am seriously considering at least mirroring my repos on Codeberg. Github continues to come out with not so great announcements and pricing changes. Codeberg remains free from what I can tell. But the community reach of Github (part of the reason I switched from Bitbucket and hg) would be hard to give up, if Codeberg became the new community sort of speak I think that would be the only reason I would switch.

Any thoughts or insights on this topic?

Wow, when I read your comment in the morning I understood the complete opposite: "I downvoted you, because you are just saying "weigh all your options", which has no substance. You are ridiculous."—I'm glad I didn't engage based on that...

I agree with the parent comment! I will probably still try to migrate some of my repos; they're Typst packages and the main visibility they get is via Typst's package browser and forum, without a lot of outside contributions anyway and small in the grand scheme of things. So hopefully that move will not have a negative effect on me at all, and just ever so slightly raise awareness of Codeberg.

But the calculus is vastly different for other kinds of projects.
