Wow, thanks for the stickies! Love all the activity in this thread. I love our coding comrades!
Hey fellow Hexbearions! I have no idea what I'm doing! However, born out of the conversations in the comments of this little thing I posted the other day, I have created an org on GitHub that I think we can use to share, highlight, and collaborate on code and projects from comrades here and abroad.
I know we have several bots that float around this instance, and I've always wondered who maintains them and where their code is hosted. It would be cool to keep a fork of those bots in this org, for example.
I've already added a fork of @[email protected]'s Emoji repo as another example.
The projects don't need to be Hexbear or Lemmy related, either. I've moved my aPC-Json repo into the org just as an example, and intend to use the code written by @[email protected] to play around with adding ICS files to the repo.
We have numerous comrades looking at mainlining some flavor of Linux and bailing on windows, maybe we could create some collaborative documentation that helps onboard the Linux-curious.
I've been thinking a lot recently about leftist communication online and building community spaces, which will ultimately intersect with self-hosting. Documenting various tools and providing Docker Compose files to easily get people off and running could be useful.
I don't know a lot about GitHub Orgs, so I should get on that, I guess. That said, I'm open to all suggestions and input on how best to use this space I've created.
Also, I made (what I think is) a neat emblem for the whole thing:
Todos
Mirror repos to both GitHub and Codeberg
Create process for adding new repos to the mirror process
Create a more detailed profile README on GitHub.
Done

Hosting suggestion: sourcehut! Mainly because they embrace the superior mailing list style of development, so anyone with an email can contribute. Other places that allow email based contribution are also cool ^^

That is everywhere. There isnt anything special about sourcehut and its email stuff.
Really! Good to know.
Regardless i do like sourcehut, its simple and gets out of my way, but i withdraw my suggestion if i can send patches and prs over email anywhere
It does of course require that people setup the infrastructure to do that, though it doesn't have to be more complicated than writing an email address in the readmes and pulling whatever patches come in from there
Sorry to bother you, but do you have any resources for email based interaction with non-sourcehut forges? E.g. theres a project on codeberg i want to open an issue for. If they used sourcehut id just send an email to the issue tracker and it would create the ticket, but I cant find how to do any of that on codeberg without creating an account, which Id like to avoid.
I didn't think about issues, codeberg might not have that.
Gotcha. Not making and maintaining a bunch of accounts on different forges is why i like email based stuff, and why i havent really contributed to anything on github/gitlab/codeberg/etc.
