That’s why you should use Forgejo

Absolutely. This is so hillarious.
How can you develop a Git forge and not host it on itself?
Whyy? Also how they locked the issue and always changed the goals on version further... and that was 7!!! Years ago!

It doesn't make sense, Forgejo just forked gitea and discarded all of the history (I.e.: issues and PR) previously included in gitea's github repository. Of course they could host it on their own platform, it was already functional and they could start from a blank state.

TLDR: "lets make github. Wait, we can't afford that"

At least Forgojo is hosted on Codeberg. Actually I believe that Forgejo is a Codeberg project.

Yes, Gitea is a fork of Gog, and Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.
Gitea messed up their finance stuff, has a for profit company and did a lot of shady swaps without transparency.
Forgejo is sponsored by the nonprofit Codeberg [something] and is hosted on Codeberg.

Ah yes that's it. Forgejo has been great on my server.

It doesn't really surprise me that a self hosted project cant afford to self host it's own self or be able to find a neutral hosting location.

I dont know how much it costs to host such a server, 10€ per month?
I mean if you dont even use your software for real work i.e. a big project, how do you test it?

The irony isn't lost on me but the comments show it wasn't that simple. If it was they surely would have done it.

They are not the only ones. I've seen a few other alternative forges that haven't bothered dogfooding. It immediately lowers the trust in them. Does their shit really work if they have to host it on github?

Wow that's a really long time. 7! works out to 5040 but 7!! is a stupidly huge number.
