@ta180m so you get commit notifications?
@boilingsteam In theory, yes, but I haven't written the code yet that actually sends out a ForgeFed Activity after each user action.
@ta180m so thats not something thats baked in gitea for now in terms of features?
@boilingsteam Yeah, federation features will (most likely) be released in Gitea 1.18 in October. All of this code is still highly experimental and can be found at https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea
@ta180m thanks! Looking forward to it!
@ta180m I have to try this!
@drwho Federation features will most likely be released in Gitea 1.18, so you only have to wait until October...
You *could* try the code (https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea/src/branch/feature-go-ap-inbox-outbox) now, but it's all highly experimental and might cause damage to your Gitea database, so I wouldn't recommend it.
@ta180m That's good to know - thanks.
@kas Not yet. Federation features will probably be officially released in Gitea 1.18 in October.
@genofire @kas I submitted a draft PR https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/19981 but it's blocked by #19133 currently so it'll be a while until it's merged.
@ta180m
OHHHHH!!!
@ta180m Wait, does fedoration work yet???
@daniel It's a highly experimental feature right now and will be officially released in Gitea 1.18.
@ta180m oh that is freakishly exciting!
@ta180m How did you do that? I can’t seem to follow mine. I have federation enabled.
@gergely It's experimental code that won't be officially released until Gitea 1.18 in October. You can find the code here: https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea/src/branch/feature-federation
@ta180m
Ah, now i understand why. Thanks a lot!
@ta180m@social.exozy.me
Is this in the stable releases yet?
@verita84 No, it's currently not even in upstream Gitea yet, but it should be merged in time for Gitea 1.18 which comes out in October or November.
@ta180m how can i make my gitea mastodon-compatible? Or is it by default and i don't even know?!
@Me_but_lewd Most of these federated features haven't been upstreamed yet and are only in my Gitea fork[1].
I wrote a guide[2] for running it, but just be careful and have backups since it's experimental code.

Now I have to figure out how to accept the follow request... (also sorry for not adding image descriptions, I'm too excited right now!)
