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 in…

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?

A bit late on my reply here, sorry.

There are minor clumsy points here and there in the UI, but nothing major and nothing that’s a stumbling block.

It’s hard to paint a perfect comparison without using the same features but all the basics are there and working.

The version we have in use doesn’t support a gist functionality but the last I looked there was a PR for a similar feature with a less-GH—lawyer-baiting name. That was the biggest thing for me.

It has a GH Actions compatible rubber system too.

It is not abuse to charge what amounts to a relatively small fee for a useful service.

It's not "a relatively small fee for a useful service". It's an unnecessary fee to use self-hosted (i.e., not GitHub-hosted) components in CI pipelines.

That’s the service. What aren’t you getting? The service is the execution and orchestration of CI jobs.
