    I am yet to see the point of this. Does this offer anything that gitea doesn’t?

      Is a soft fork, its purpose is to specifically stay in step with the upstream and working on new features the upstream isn’t ready/doesn’t want. As far as I know, they’re the devs working on federation between selfhosted/any other instances.

      You can find the answer to that question in the linked release notes. (What is unique to Forgejo)

      I’m curious, why is this bot currently being downvoted for almost every comment it makes?

        I don’t know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I’d rather just see replies to the post from actual people.

          Please, just block the bot and you won’t see it again. If there was a way to make the replies from the bot not appear on lemmy, I would add it, but it’s not possible.

            Hey no problem :) I totally understand and read through the linked README. FWIW I find the fact that Lemmy is in Rust, pretty… tricky. Getting Lemmy to run on my OpenBSD server started with a couple of crazy segfaults!

      I’m running it in my homelab for projects I do not (yet) push anywhere public, and projects containing private items such as ssh keys. It is snappy and has a ton of features. I can imagine when the federation support works, one can set up their own git forge and contribute more easily to other forges no matter what software they run.

      And, to be honest, that is already how git works if you use the email workflow. Here we just get a web based flow with federated issues and pull requests. But if email is enough for you, you can have a full federation with email and git.
