@ploum@mamot.fr i don't know how much this would actually solve the centralisation on github problem, but ive always wished there was something like a code hosting search engine that would let you perform searches across many code hosting websites all at once ive only made maybe a whopping 3 or 4 contributions to open source projects before in my life that aren't just filing bug reports, so im not really coming from that perspective, but i *do* like idly browsing open source projects in my free time, like a software version of crate-diving at record stores, and admittedly... usually i just thumb through github. it's big, it's old, so it has a wealth of stuff to look through. sometimes i do this with gitlab/codeberg/notabug/etc etc but i have a severe habit of just going for github only. and i know im missing so much cool shit this way, especially because some of the open source software i use the most isn't hosted on github

@aaron@chirp.zadzmo.org @ploum@mamot.fr i wonder if a wiki hosted at a site like miraheze might be a good starting point to bring something like this back... i would actually kind of be keen to help maintain something like this, but im not confident enough in my programming skills to roll something by hand (and the only programming language i'm skilled enough in is perl, so it'd be less likely other people could help)
