    I wish more would use self hosted solutions like Forgejo (or a gitweb if they don’t need a complex system) and simply mirror their projects on codeberg and github for the exposure.

    Gentoo apparently do it that way already:

    https://codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo (mirror)
    https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo (mirror)

      thats actually smart for small projects, your selfhost is the source of true and you take advantage of github for exposure and backups
