One of GitHub's most staple contributors announced they are abandoning ship due to constant outages. GitHub's COO responds, promising change, but is it all too little too late?
Love the idea of a federated github, but I could only find this list of instances, and from my basic test it looks like the search doesn’t bring up projects from other instances? Unless I’m doing something wrong.
Oh, my bad. I was confused. I assumed ActivityPub was some specific sub-app rather than a general communication protocol. That makes sense. Would still be good to get a list of instances.

They are working on it. They haven’t enabled it yet. And afaik the only thing that works atm is favorite count.
You can track progress here:
https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md
edit: atm it seems like these are done (despite the last two not being marked as such, I guess the roadmap is a bit outdated):

Do you want a list of Forgejo instances in general or specifically ones that have this experimental federation enabled?
General, assuming you think most will enable federation in due time. I’m just looking for the most appropriate place to join with.
Just go with Codeberg.org then.
You can move your repos elsewhere sometime later if you want to.
