To summarise "The Forgejo project is a community-driven free software project that aims to provide a code forge platform similar to GitHub and to be a drop-in replacement for Gitea."
seems like a promising project!
I'll definitely give this a spin, however, I landed on the page and I wasn't immediately sure about what i had in front of me, same goes for the github page.
If this is a software meant for developing with powerful collaboration tools, where is even just one screenshot of what it looks like?
I don't want to sound like a tiktok kid that only cares about form over function, but there's absolutely nothing visual ( or written for that matter ) to illustrate this project.
Do I really have to pull the image, execute it and find out about the looks, features, and how to configure it?
No introductory video? No Docs? Heck, not even a screenshot of the main page
Forgive me here, but what’s the relationship between this to Gitea to Gogs? IIRC, Gogs was the original that was forked to become Gitea which has now been formed to become Forgejo? Or was it Gitea to Gogs?
It's Esperanto. It's supposed to be written "forĝejo" (forĝi=to forge, -ej-=place, -o=noun). The letter ĝ (for the dʒ sound, like Dj in Django, or J in John) is supposed to be written as gx without diacritics. But I assume "forgxejo" would have confused non-Esperantists even more.

This project is the soft fork of Gitea that was created in reaction to the open letter [0][1], after Gitea Ltd. was incorporated [2].

Is is mostly going to Forgejo (other than Gitea Inc employees obviously), mostly staying with Gitea, a mix?

That being said, Forgejo is a soft fork, so they will still benefit from those contributions.

Gitea is a hard-fork of Gogs, while Forgejo is (currently) a soft-fork of Gitea.

Or how does a soft fork work?
[+] [-] jolheiser|3 years ago|reply
As far as I know they intend to upstream patches they make as well.
And yes, Gitea is still open source and MIT licensed.
