GitHub's latest transparency report reveals that the company received 2,000 valid DMCA takedown notices last year, resulting in the removal of over 31,151 projects. Targeted repositories included copied code, but also pirate apps, IPTV playlists, and many Nintendo Switch emulators. Circumvention takedowns increased slightly, but GitHub notes that these continue to be heavily scrutinized.

We believe Forgejo is a fork of Gitea by Codeberg.

The reason we see it as better than Gitea is because it's aiming for federation which is something very much needed in code repositories, we shouldn't have to sign up to multiple sites just to be able to help out with a project.

If Gitea has federation then let us know!

Edit: Also, Gitea is not really open source any more in spirit if not in license which is why the community tends to prefer Forgejo.

Thank you for the helpful reply!

Does Forgejo have repo mirroring that also mirrors issues, wiki, etc?

Basically one of my use cases for running a local Gitea instance (LAN-only) is to mirror-backup any interesting projects I see, regardless of where their home is, I expect that anything can happen, especially to things like Yuzu. To prepare for such things I want to mirror repos, but not just code and releases, but also issues and wikis which often contain crucial documentation or assistance in getting software to run, etc... (you know the drill)

Gitea doesn't have that quite yet, only for one-off copying a repo.
