  You are correct, and I am still a bit sad about it, because gitea was a cuter name and logo TBH. But Forgejo is pursuing a technically superior design and socially better path at this point.

  I think Forgejo is a community-driven fork of Gitea. Gitea development is still active.

    forgejo is implementing federation and gitea is not https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ if you dont care that its community based, federation is the only thing i could tell you

      I love federation, but why does a git server need federation? Am I missing something, or is this federating for the sake of federating?

        You can make like a account on Codeberg and open issues on other git servers it’s not useful for developers it’s user friendly people don’t like making new accounts because most people don’t use password managers.

        Not necessarily

        Notice Forgejo is being hosted on Forgejo. The community behind it is much stronger while Gitea is some startup that is desperately trying to be relevant.
