Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Forgefed is super cool, and holds a lot of promise for collaborative coding on the Fediverse itself.

I wrote about some of the development and background of the project here: https://wedistribute.org/2023/06/the-future-of-code-collaboration-might-happen-across-the-entire-web/

Very much agree with all that. The main reason centralized git providers emerged was due to the fact that they made discoverability and contribution easy. Federation directly addresses these issues, and it's really encouraging to see that Forgejo is starting to get some serious usage. I think another big aspect federated hosting could address is censorship, if you have servers hosted in different jurisdictions, and mirroring content then it becomes very difficult to remove content from the network.

Looking forward to Forgejo supporting it in the far future.
