I am already self-hosting a lot of things for 15+ years now, including git, but I am looking for a solution like Github that is federalized (not Gitlab or the like).

I want people to be able to open issues, PRs, comment, fork or star without having to create an account on my server. Is there anything like that?

I saw radicle.xyz but I am not sure if that is what I want. Basically a lightweight git+ActivityPub + web frontend is what I am looking for. I think. No CI/CD or other fancy features required.

      Is it not a big no-no to use Gitea now since the commercial takeover? From what I understand, Forgejo is the safe option and I am glad to hear from the other comments that it is getting support for that through ForgeFed!

          That is a bit hyperbole. The domains and trademarks where transferred to a for-profit entity (owned by the main devs) and all that was done in relative secrecy which didn’t go down well with the open-source community.

          However for the time being nothing much changed and Forgejo is more of a “just in case” soft-fork.

          AFAIK Gitea incorporated as a for-profit (which was supported), but there was some perceived(not intended to throw shade on any side here, just keeping it neutral) shady-ness from the perspective of the community.
