    lol, what? A project migrating away from Codeberg to Github? That’s a first I think, and also stupid.

      As much as it sucks GH has a larger pool of developers available. It’s why businesses went to Facebook or use to go to twatter, that is where have accounts so that is where we go.

      Hi, developer of PdfDing here. I understand what you are saying, but allow me to explain. I tried to make codeberg work, but it is really hard to gain traction and interaction with the community over there. For example, while I got 3 issues from the community on codeberg in over 5 months, on github I already got two in just two days. Of course it could be a coincidence or the same users as on codeberg.

      I am developing PdfDing not only for myself but also as way to give back to the community for all the great projects I am using. So I want it to be used by many people. I want and need the interaction with the community. The issues I got until now were great feature requests that I would have not thought of on my own. Maybe I will also get contributors, would be great for sure.

          Lemmy doesn’t meet my needs, but it’s closer than Reddit is. As soon as something better comes along (or I build a replacement), I’m out. I still use Reddit occasionally, I just don’t have an account there anymore because I’m unwilling to feed them more data.

          Likewise, Forgejo partially meets my needs, and since automatic syncing a/ GitHub is a thing, I’ll probably use both. I don’t hate GitHub, I just prefer to self-host, so I’ll probably go that route instead of buying into GitHub’s ecosystem.
