  I’m using gitea - why u guys use forgejo again?

    I just half went down this rabbit hole, I’m thinking forgejo is the best option (for me) because:

    • they dogfood (they actually use their own product, on the other hand gitea uses github and github actions). This makes me feel more confident in forgejo.
    • is not “owned” by a for-profit entity that could change course in the future, creating a big hassle for me down the line if I need to swap to something else for whatever enshitified reason (since forgejo is no longer compatible with gitea).
    • forgejo seems to be more at-the-ready for finding and fixing security vulnerabilities in their own app (as proclaimed on their site).
    • future possibility for federation (gitea is not planning this according to forgejo site).

      Gitea doesn’t use GitHub action. Syntax is compatible yes, but it’s not GitHub actions

        That’s not what they mean, if you go to Gitea’s website and follow the links to the source code, you’ll find its being hosted on GitHub. Contrast this with Forgejo which is being hosted at Codeberg, a public Forgejo instance.

        github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/main/…/workflows

        github.com/go-gitea/gitea/actions

        they do in fact make extensive use of github actions

    I don’t remember the details, but something happened to the Gitea ownership structure without warning, and people were upset about it.

    As an actual differentiator: Forgejo has an LTS version that which gets support for 1 year. Normal versions only get supported until the next major release (every few months).

    Gitea to my knowledge doesn’t have any LTS.
