Forgejo has merged a federated stars feature using ActivityPub, allowing star counts to sync between origin repositories and their mirrors or forks across instances. Users can enable federation via config and link repositories through Federation Settings to propagate star activities.
Background
Forgejo is a lightweight fork of Gitea, an open-source self-hosted Git service. ActivityPub federation enables cross-instance social features like follows and stars in decentralized platforms.
