Hello, I was thinking of moving all my open source projects here. Anyone have any opinions? Excuse the post if this has been discussed previously, I was unable to find anything directly relating to peoples opinions on using it.

Edit: Lots of great discussion going on here! Thanks to everyone who contributed! I wasn't sure before but now I am set on moving all my projects over. The fact that it will be federated makes it even more appealing given that github is now requiring phone numbers and other personal information in order to create an account on their site.

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.
