    Since my repos are spread across multiple instances, I deal won codeberg only intermittently and it looks like the 504s are about 2-3 weeks old. Not good, but just outside of the time I got busy in a repo that’s not on codeberg.

    As for gitlab’s interface, I guess it’s like switching from new reddit to lemmy, it’s different and you babe to get used to it. While quitting Github, I actually came to really appreciate Gitlab’s interface. It wasn’t easy at the beginning, but now I actually prefer it to GitHub’s interface.

    If the people you asked are longtime Github users and only use or used Gitlab a few times, I’m not surprised they don’t like it.

    Radicle is better than it was when I first tried it. For a person who doesn’t like the CLI, it’s probably utterly horrific, but feature-wise, it’s a distributed sourceforge. They still have a ways to go:

    • no notifications for anything like patches or comments
    • no CI
    • web interface is read-only
    • electron GUI is… Electron but makes its usage sane® but I tested that long ago
    • doesn’t support huge repos e.g >1GB and it just won’t distribute

    But if the goal is just to publish code and have a distributed backup, radicle is very good at that.
