       | I saw the links to merged ActivityPub PRs but it wasn't clear to
       | me: what's the status of AP support now?

         | I believe you can follow the status here (Federation roadmap):

         | Works well for a small team.

       | forgejo is quite nice and simple to configure and run so that
       | works out. My impression is that it is much more lightweight (and
       | faster) than gitlab, although I haven't done actual comparisons.

       | the Docker label), then from 9 to 11 worked, and since 11 is LTS
       | I'll stay on that for a while.
       | 
       | https://forgejo.org/releases/ says 11 is supported until July 16,
       | 2026.

         | Thanks. I'm on 9 and was wondering what the path would be like.
