Newbie here, what is the difference between code berg and forgejo?
Comment on Codeberg.org Opinions?

I selfhost a forgejo instance, which is the underlying framework for codeberg (and they maintain forgejo).
Federation is in the works, they say.
If i was going to have any projects public, this is where i would do it.

Codeberg is the hosted forgejo instance from codeberg E.V. Codeberg ev also forked gitea 2022 and spearheads the development of forgejo

Forgejo is a git server, forked by Codeberg from Gitea after Gitea got bought up by a for-profit corporation.
Codeberg is a non-profit organization which runs a public instance of the Forgejo git server.
You can make an account on Codeberg.org, save repos there, and contribute to other repos, like on Github. Or you can run your own Forgejo instance to use either privately or open up to public use.

Gitea wasn’t bought, the people running the project held the trademarks and decided to move the trademarks to a new for-profit entity they created in order to provide git related services for some fee structure that isn’t clear to me. Largely it’s CI/CD service that they are looking to sell.

Similar situation, and I follow the Forgejo development. I’ve found the codeberg individuals that I’ve interacted with to be very good at what they do. They give me confidence in the wider platform.

I also selfhost forgejo and im really happy with it. (I moved Form GitLab.) Personally I cant wait for Federation (which GitLab is also working on). If it were so be implemented, then ppl could actually contribute so projects on selfhosted git servers, which I am really looking forward so.

Federation like that sounds perfect, and would definitely help out for the current situation I see where projects are officially on, say, Gitlab but still accept pull requests on GitHub. I’m sure that involves some annoying manual process (although should be less hassle than the code review!)

I've also got a self hosted Forgejo instance. I'm patient and really excited by the future prospects of federation.
It'll be really nice to keep my code and tooling entirely within my home while still being able to share and collaborate with others though those federated exchanges of community & code.
