Hello, I was thinking of moving all my open source projects here. Anyone have any opinions? Excuse the post if this has been discussed previously, I was unable to find anything directly relating to peoples opinions on using it.

Edit: Lots of great discussion going on here! Thanks to everyone who contributed! I wasn’t sure before but now I am set on moving all my projects over. The fact that it will be federated makes it even more appealing given that github is now requiring phone numbers and other personal information in order to create an account on their site.

    I just discovered it recently, and started adding stuff. I feel a lot more comfortable about my coffee here than other places. I like it!

    However, I’m worried that future employers may ask me to “share my GitHub” with them, leading me to try to explain to a potential employer what “a Codeberg” is.

      Do you want to work for someone that doesn’t understand there are alternatives to GitHub? Label it as your portfolio or VCS on your resume and share the link instead of GitHub when asked. If it causes issues( that’s a great weed out on your end.

      Same. I thought about setting up a mirror on Github, just so I wouldn’t run into a situation like that.
