One seems to be built on top of the other? Very confusing though, I agree.

I think radicle.dev is the software that lets you store issues and PRs inside a Git repo, and radicle.network is some kind of interface to people's hosts that run the Radicle software. Something like that? I agree it's super confusing though and their explanation isn't exactly clear: https://radicle.network/principles https://radicle.network/principles

  the main reason they mentioned [1] for radicle.network is because their old domain radicle.xyz was blocked in some places by some lists that they think was because it may have hosted certain UGC that triggered some flags. > Content about Radicle (explainers, guides, download links, blog posts) which is under control of the Radicle team. We will use radicle.dev for these purposes. > Content on Radicle (repositories hosted on practically any node on the network) which the Radicle team has only very little control over, accessible via Radicle Explorer. Going forward, our deployment of Radicle Explorer will not be hosted on app.radicle.xyz anymore, but instead it will be hosted at radicle.network. > The idea is of course that if there are complaints about or issues with radicle.network in the future, we hope that radicle.dev stays largely unaffected and people can continue to inform themselves about Radicle and learn how to set it up. On a semi-related note, this is a good time to remind anyone that hasn't yet heard of the Public Suffix List (PSL) [2][3] to make sure you put your domains that may be hosting UGC in the form <usercontent>.<yourdomain>.<tld> (ie: eTLDs) on that list so browsers and other block lists are aware that the user provisioned subdomains are UGC and not from your site so it properly isolates cookies/site grouping and won't flag your entire domain as malicious. 1: https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Suffix_List https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Suffix_List 3: https://github.com/publicsuffix/list https://github.com/publicsuffix/list

    What if you disagree with the centralisation of the internet into some guy's suffix list?

      relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2347/ https://xkcd.com/2347/ but on a serious note it is a bit more than some guy's list, it's more of an initiative that was started by the Mozilla Foundation and is used by: - browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Opera... - password managers, Let's Encrypt, cURL - Cloudflare just to name a few. Though yeah there have been privacy concerns and problems with projects that use outdated versions of the list outlined in Brave's paper (no affiliation): > We present the first large-scale measurement study of how the public suffix list is used by open-source software on the Web and the privacy harm resulting from projects using outdated versions of the list. https://brave.com/research/privacy-harms-of-public-suffix-list/ https://brave.com/research/privacy-harms-of-public-suffix-li...

    > deployment of Radicle Explorer will not be hosted on app.radicle.xyz anymore, but instead it will be hosted at radicle.network. So it would be a lot clearer (read: not completely unclear), if radicle.network actually said "Radicle Explorer" somewhere. "Radicle Explorer" is a great descriptive name which instantly conveys a lot of information about what it is and does! But it doesn't appear anywhere there.

  Yes, I think it’s like a decentralized GitHub?

I found https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move It sounds like both are the same project, one is the “explorer” which is on a different domain so that censoring it doesn’t impact the main site
