I’m glad Gitlab is still an option, just sitting there waiting to absorb the market pivot if Microsoft takes it the wrong way.

I see more people jump for Codeberg these days.
Or even better, claim full sovereignty (again) and install Forgejo (https://forgejo.org/) on your own hardware.
You'll get the same experience as Codeberg, because Codeberg is in fact running on Forgejo
People aren't on these hosted platforms only for the git experience, they are for the social aspects and discoverability too.

For hosting and publishing your code maybe.
But the power of Github is more the social platform and collaboration at global scale.
In that sense the only mature alternative I know is Radicle

I have PRs open on five different OSS projects at the moment. My throughput is being limited by trying to remember all the details of PRs I filed 3-6 weeks ago.
I thinK I have to admit to myself that as little as I like github having all the projects, I'd be less effective having to track inboxes across half a dozen different hosting platforms.
If you made something like Mastodon, where alerts propagate across instances, I could probably deal. But without that? No, I'll pass.

It’s a great piece of software. I set it up in a Docker container, and have a few of their CI runners on a couple machines I own. Great experience so far.
OneDev (https://onedev.io/) is self-hostable, too, and works great.

The UI looks very similar to Gitea. Are they related? And how do they compare?

I love Codeberg, but they're struggling with growth/scaling -- if folks want to see Codeberg succeed, they need to open their wallets.
Big limitation on private repos there.
Among enterprises I work with, I'm seeing way more migration to self-hosted Gitlab than I was a few years ago. Even among Azure-dependent orgs.
I think there’s some risk with this though too - more and more is behind the enterprise tier. People try to work around this in various ways but its an unsatisfying experience. For e.g. trying to enforce merge request approval with pipeline stages.
Gitlab is not really an option for me. Their pricing is absolutely out of this world.
Additionally there is Codeburg/Forgejo, and for the atproto-enjoyers, tangled.sh is a new face that feels like it could be good.
And gitea (originally a Forgejo fork).
Did you mean to say gitea was originally a Gogs fork?
The lineage of those projects is Gogs => Gitea => Forgejo
> And gitea (originally a Forgejo fork).
I don't think this is right. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitea#Forgejo_fork.
Vice versa, forgejo is a gitea fork.
As a Deno user, this news also makes me see more value in JSR. (Relative to npm's ownership, that is.)
Left Gitlab after they changed the UI nearly every month, it's still very cumbersome to use.
Yes, as long as you don’t look at their pricing :/

I can see Gitlab in the same position in the near future. Only a matter of time...
