Github fediverse alternative (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I am already self-hosting a lot of things for 15+ years now, including git, but I am looking for a solution like Github that is federalized (not Gitlab or the like).

I want people to be able to open issues, PRs, comment, fork or star without having to create an account on my server. Is there anything like that?

I saw radicle.xyz but I am not sure if that is what I want. Basically a lightweight git+ActivityPub + web frontend is what I am looking for. I think. No CI/CD or other fancy features required.

I think a federated version control system makes so much sense and I hope it will break open GitHub's (nearly) monopoly.

Completely agree! Please note that git itself is federated, well distributed, it's the rest of the stuff on top that needs to be fixed.
