What is the current state of implementing federation in Gitea? - eviltoast

It seems that most information that I can find on the subject is about a year old, so I am wondering if anyone has any up-to-date info.

    Didn’t Gitea fork from gogs? What’s the goto lightweight (so no Gitlab) self-hosted Git host nowadays? Difficult to keep track.

      Yes, Gitea is a hard-fork of Gogs and started years ago. Forgejo is a soft-fork of Gitea when the primary authors of Gitea created a company of the same name to provide paid support (there’s history there you can look up) but Gitea remains free and open source. Forgejo, supported by Codeberg, is a community fork and will upstream to Gitea.

      Gitea/Forgejo is a great option, they recently even added build actions which are compatible with Github Actions.
