we have a Forgejo instance at the Dutch government now and it's great! A lot of the UI is actually smoother and faster than GitHub, there's no annoying upselling, no forced AI ('are you sure you don't want this reviewed by an agent?'), and the fact that we run rather than rent it seems optimal strategically. Thanks @Gina@fosstodon.org and co for making it possible 👏

@hdv@front-end.social @Gina@fosstodon.org “A lot of the UI is actually smoother and faster than GitHub […]” Hehe. Not that that is a huge feat.

@hdv@front-end.social @Gina@fosstodon.org Could somebody shed some light on the fact that Forgejo is promoted by @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de but seems to be different from #Codeberg as #github alternative? So codeberg != Forgejo ?

@hdv@front-end.social @Gina@fosstodon.org How should one pronounce "Forgejo"?
