The typical GitHub project I end up using as a tool or a dependency: hundreds to thousands of stars, a good number of issues and PRs, signaling at least a moderate degree of battle-hardening. (Star farming is a thing but I don’t think it’s a big problem in general.)

The typical GitLab project I land on through a search engine: ~0 stars, extremely low issue/MR engagement. Even when it’s like the only game in town for a moderately popular use case. Hardly distinguishable from my private repos in terms of human involvement.

Codeberg is only going to be worse.
