Summary
A Lobsters discussion on migrating from GitHub reveals that the top priority isn't feature parity but anti-lock-in capabilities: federation for login (e.g., Fediverse-style OAuth where users type their instance name), identity portability, and easy exit paths. Forgejo's manual OAuth registration per site is cited as a failure, while SourceHut's CI with SSH access is called a must-have. The author building juju.bi for small private teams should prioritize decentralized identity and seamless cross-forge login.
