I put most of my open-source repos there for a few years, and got GitLab adopted at work too. They had similar feature set to GitHub and I didn’t want to support the latter’s near-monopoly status. After Microsoft bought GitHub and many large projects started migrating to GitLab (e.g. GNOME), I thought things were looking better.
But a few years in… I’ve given up and moved my repos to GitHub a year ago. It’s clear that my GitLab repos have nearly no visibility, and if no one finds the projects then there’s not much point in open sourcing it.
