I still find the name weird. Let's do something fun here; Comment what YOU think ForgeJo should be called instead
Is forgejo federated yet?
Not yet They are working on it You can keep an eye on the development through monthly reports https://forgejo.org/tag/report/
I guess I'm out of the loop: why do ppl hate forgejo?
Probably just the weird name. It makes it feel like someone’s weekend personal project.
I use it to self-host my own code and it works great, I’m totally moved off GitHub now.
I don't even know how to pronounce it. Forge Joe? For Gay Ho?
Any product name that needs a voice file to explain itself is a bad name 🤦 what were they thinking?
Rijndael is pronounced AES.
Yeah, this is news to me. I think Codeberg runs on Forgejo, and just the other day people were singing its praises when GitHub became part of Microsoft's AI team. This feels like a sudden shift.
Personally uaong forgejo myself and it has been smooth sailing for ages! This is the first time ive ever seen people taking a stance against it, though the ones in the comments sidnt seem to have a good argument.
Nice, hope they set up their own branding on their instance at some point
