Instead of a company owning the monopoly on the data and the infrastructure, the ActivityPub protocol allows for federated instances to communicate with one another so while you might sign in and join through one site, you might find something interesting coming from one of the interested. Same protocol that Lemmy, Mastadon, BlueSky, PeerTube, and some other platforms run that allows for Programming.dev to communicate with Lemmy.ML of Feddit.it

And… is that the present implementation of Codeberg? Are they running ActivityPub protocol? Is the infrastructure federated?
No, they expressed intent to implement it using ActivityPub and there has been some work, but it’s still far away from being useful.
Not yet, but it is their plan…
