    Yeah. Right now GitHub is the only choice for my work to be seen; but someone is going to fix that by adopting activity Pub.

    I’ll run my own instance once that’s an option.

    Someone please correct me if it’s already in play and I’ve just missed it.

      It’s still not here. If you’re a Go or Ruby dev with some time, you could help out Forgejo or Gitlab.
