This is really neat, and as the GitHub acquisition moves forward, I suspect a lot of Microsoft's competitors will move elsewhere, so this will be handy.
What about self-hosting though? If you run your own GitLab, how would you get listed on your search engine? Is that something you've looked at?
My thought exactly. For something that can easily be self-hosted, I feel a focus on a handful of "major platforms" is the wrong approach. Already people in this thread are saying that smaller well-known instances are "not major enough" which I disagree with.
