At work we've started switching to codeberg (which uses forgejo) and honestly it's a breath of fresh air compared to GitHub. It's blazing fast compared to GitHub and has feature parity with our needs.

I have (almost completely) moved my business from GitHub to Forgejo as well. I’m deploying an instance at home as well.

It’s shocking how bloated and slow GitHub is even for basic actions when you compare it to Forgejo running just your own stuff.

Bonus: if you can manage to reliably backup a database and a filesystem, you can then backup your forge. Outside GH Enterprise there is still no restorable backup option inside GitHub.

		This is great to hear! I’ll check it out. How is it for usability (other than speed) compared to GH. Given that most/all devs are already comfortable in GH. What are the downsides in your experience?

Not an option for the majority of companies as it only allows open source repositories as far as I'm aware.

Selfhosting gitea is trivial, I'm saying this as someone who has been doing it at work for almost 6 years. Our experience has recently prompted another org (run by people we know) to move off GitHub, they also seem to be happy.

		There are plenty of alternatives to Github, from Gitlab and Gittea to Forgejo, but Codeberg is not one of them, which is what I wanted to stress.
