What I meant by exposure is the ease of finding the repo, if you run an open source project, you want people to find it, and GitHub's advantage here is massive.

Also when using an alternative hosting, people won't interact with the issues / or create PRs because they have to create yet another account.
With federation this would be solved, but the issue is that GitHub probably won't support federation.

It's quite possible that issues/discussions and even code reviews to happen over activitypub. > GitHub probably won't support federation They still have an usable API, so even if they don't support it federation officially, it will be possible to implement, e.g, a bridge bot that reads/writes from your AP server to the GitHub projects that you need to interact with.
