Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing #ActivityPub! 🙌 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247 The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send a merge request to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’. Smart move by #GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer. @fediversenews@venera.social #fediverse #GitHub #git

    Thanks :) So since Gitlab can be self hosted there wasn’t a way to make PRs from one instance to another?

      Yeah, each server was separate but this helps their users connect between them without signing up. Also apparently Gitea is adding similar support
