Organic Maps is great and I'm hoping the transition to Forgejo goes smoothly for the project.

I've recently started hiking and just generally going outside in my community more. When I relied on Google Maps I would get some random business highlighted when navigating around. Since I switched to Organic Maps I see trails, artwork, parks, scenic views, etc, etc that I never knew existed even in my own neighborhood. I also love the idea that if I find something not right on it I can just open up Open Street Map, make a simple edit, and improve the life of everyone else using the app that comes after me.

I didn't know forgejo existed and I have been using gitlab ce which is getting more and more difficult to deal with for just home use. All of a sudden I see that I am no longer getting minor updates because my debian version isn't the latest and during my last update it broke the db again.

forgejo seems to have everything I need including CI pipeline and container registry so I am definitely going to give it a try before trying to update gitlab.

Glad to see more and more organizations moving to rights-respecting platforms, away from the intelligence community's surveillance + social control dragnets of choice.

I checked the IP. Another Hetzner server. I wonder how much they're making off of the distrust of the US Government and the companies helping their censorship.

Another great reason to derisk from US-based products

What’s the latest in Forgejo vs. Gitea?

organic maps is a treasure. It's great. Microsoft messed up here.
