Is there a Git repository activity aggregator, like GitHub's user activity but platform independent? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm looking for something like GitHub's user activity indicator that gathers information from a list of git repositories regardless of where they are hosted (as long as they are public), that I can put on my webpage, kind of as a thing to show what I'm working on at the moment.

Is this a thing that already exists? I'd started writing one a while ago but instead of reviving that it would be great if there's something that already exists and I can just use :^)

@2xsaiko RSS/Atom feeds were developed for this use case. GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg (Forgejo), Sourcehut, even cgit and git's own gitweb serve feeds. For example here's my GitHub account: https://github.com/ollytom.atom
my main OSS project: https://git.olowe.co/streaming/atom/

Atom feeds are widely supported (it's how I found this post!) and there are many libraries/apps/plugins for aggregation. Robust old tech. And no need to limit feeds to Git activity if you don't want to :) Good luck!

Oh nice, I wasn't aware there were RSS feeds for git repositories! Makes sense though. I'll look into this.
