    I’ve never heard of codeberg. Can someone explain what it is, briefly?

    Edit: I love being downvoted for asking a simple question. I thought I left reddit to get away from these twits.

      The other answers are right, just explaining in simpler language in case anyone needs it:

      Codeberg, like Gitlab and Github, is a site for hosting and managing code repositories. These make it easy for many people to collaborate on a software project, review code, keep track of changes and history, keep track of bugs and feature requests, and more.

      Here’s an example of a (very active) code project to explore: https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity (An audio editor based on Audacity)

      The most famous code repo management tool, GitHub, was bought by Microsoft a few years ago, so reliable community-run alternatives like Codeberg are increasingly important.

      It’s a code forge like Github or Gitlab. It uses open source technology on its backend and is often used by FOSS/privacy-minded projects.
