At Gitlab there is this epic working on ActivityPub support: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247

  They are not going to do anything about it. The issue was closed last month. Some vocal people complained, then the PM reopened but made it clear that federation is not their priority: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247#note_2603598572 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247#note_2603...

    Indeed. But all the work done before that are community contributions. They reopened to allow that kind of work to continue. If there's enough community interest, then Gitlab will become a federated forge most likely.

Gitlab is a monster to host for your own small amount of projects. If I where to start fresh I would go with https://forgejo.org/ https://forgejo.org/ I am also a bit worried how gitlab has changed its pricing not so long ago and the clear push to go towards maximum profit regardless if it's users are still getting a good product.

  I use GitLab for essentially everything and I haven't noticed anything get worse. It's constantly getting new features and many of them are very enterprise-focused, but they don't make the everyday user's experience worse, you can mostly just ignore them.

Also see tangled.sh, which is GitHub's BlueSky (built on ATProto). It's much less mature as a forge than the ones that are being adapted for ForgeFed, but the social support is already very useful in a way that no forge that wants to implement ForgeFed is yet.
