What if #Github published all commits, and all issues, etc through #ActivityPub? Or #gitlab #codeberg #gitea etc?

Is there any business reason why this would be a bad rather a good idea?

@J12t what would the benefit be? I could maybe see the argument for a federated code platform.. but i don't know if it'd align with what we "traditionally" think of as something like GitHub. I feel like it'd just be too much noise to signal (see also GH's past firehose streaming API)

@thisismissem This would require much better filtering options than are currently available for sure. And I might have a separate Fediverse account just to follow all the projects that I'm interested in. But it would be all in once place, instead of distributed over Github, Gitlab, self-hosted stuff etc.

@J12t arguably, someone could already create an oauth app that pulls that data for every project you follow, but idk about you but I rely on notifications, especially via email for updates.

@J12t This has been in development for some time with #Forgefed and @a implementing it for Forgejo/Gitea, see codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/i

@J12t It's not a bad idea IMHO but I'd rather see it happening on a per-project basis, or even per repo... They could run their own instance and create a "user" for each project or repo that wants it to send out the feeds... An option to filter from the source might be good as well.
