Has anyone seen gitlab is working on activitypub yet? (lemm.ee)

Just googled to see if there was an activitypub git host yet and came across this claiming gitlab are working on it at the moment and that it's available as an experimental feature

Seems odd to me that people aren't talking about this more here, has anyone tried it and if so is it any good?

Sharing git repos is the thing I'm interested in. Obviously you wouldn't store your code on some random's server, you'd self host or use one you trust and then anyone else could access it with their account from their instance is the dream

Git is already a distributed system. That's its main advantage over older systems like SVN which used a client-server model. The thing is that a lot of people don't understand distributed systems and kinda pushed it back into a client-server model with services like Github.

Discovery is the main issue that I think federation would solve. It's the missing piece of a lot of distributed systems.
