At the moment I host a lot of my code to Github because of discoverability, but I do not feel comfortable with depending on Microsoft for this service. Gitlab is a self hosted Git server, but there is no way to federate the instances like on Lemmy. Are there any projects that deal with this?

I didn't really look into it, but somebody commented on this topic about Lemmy git repo being hosted on GitHub and linked this: giveupgithub.org/

Resources to Give Up GitHub

Here are some resources to help you quit GitHub. We'll be expanding this list regularly as we find more resources. If you'd like to suggest a resource not yet listed, you can discuss it on the Give-Up-GitHub mailing list.

Alternative Hosting Services: CodeBerg SourceHut Self-Host (or join a group that self-hosts). A few options: Gitea GitLab Community Edition (note, the GitLab Enterprise Edition, which is provided to the public on gitlab.com, is (like GitHub) trade-secret, proprietary, vendor-lock-in software) SourceHut (We'll be adding tutorials soon on how to self-host!)
