Edit:
Since theres been some confusion with dates
In 2016 github made site side searching login only and hid the search bar if you werent logged in. This didnt include searching within a repository so that could still be done, just not all repositories
This year was the change being referred to in this link which made repository level searching require logging in

Yeah. Right now GitHub is the only choice for my work to be seen; but someone is going to fix that by adopting activity Pub.
I’ll run my own instance once that’s an option.
Someone please correct me if it’s already in play and I’ve just missed it.
