It's getting increasingly difficult for anyone to host a copy of the original code, or forks that continue it on, as Nintendo are not stopping in their battle against the popular Switch emulator.
Nintendo sent another DMCA over to GitHub which caused 8,535 source code repositories to go offline

Note: Because the reported network that contained the allegedly infringing content was larger than one hundred (100) repositories, and the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to the same extent as the parent repository, GitHub processed the takedown notice against the entire network of 8,535 repositories, inclusive of the parent repository.

It also states that yuzu "illegally circumvents Nintendo’s technological protection measures and runs illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games".

Yuzu is not doing anything, anymore.

GitLab is also not safe.
Suyu got taken down there, too.

For emulation fans:
Ryujinx is still alive and going well :)
Sitting in the corner, hoping for Nintendo to not come look over.. :D

And Nintendo will have a great battle trying to erase yuzu completely from the net.

So Nintendo is very busy watching yuzu lately..
and is even taking down Garry's Mod content due to copyright/ Nintendo.
