  To summarise "The Forgejo project is a community-driven free software project that aims to provide a code forge platform similar to GitHub and to be a drop-in replacement for Gitea."

  Could you rename this to the blog title? "Forgejo: Beyond Coding. We Forge".

  This project is the soft fork of Gitea that was created in reaction to the open letter [0][1], after Gitea Ltd. was incorporated [2].

  As someone who hasn't been following this: what's the split look like between Forgejo and Gitea for where the contributors are going?

  Is is mostly going to Forgejo (other than Gitea Inc employees obviously), mostly staying with Gitea, a mix?

  seems like a promising project! I'll definitely give this a spin, however, I landed on the page and I wasn't immediately sure about what i had in front of me, same goes for the github page.

  If this is a software meant for developing with powerful collaboration tools, where is even just one screenshot of what it looks like? I don't want to sound like a tiktok kid that only cares about form over function, but there's absolutely nothing visual ( or written for that matter ) to illustrate this project.

  Do I really have to pull the image, execute it and find out about the looks, features, and how to configure it? No introductory video? No Docs? Heck, not even a screenshot of the main page

  What is gitea? Is it a Foss and self-hosted GitHub?

  Forgive me here, but what’s the relationship between this to Gitea to Gogs? IIRC, Gogs was the original that was forked to become Gitea which has now been formed to become Forgejo? Or was it Gitea to Gogs?

  How do you pronounce this? Forge Joe? Forego? Forgeaux?

  Does any commit to forgejo benefit gitea ltd also? What about other way around (while gitea is still opensource - is it, btw?)

  Or how does a soft fork work?
