As a quick clarification, Forgejo is a soft fork, not hard.

They will still benefit from upstream contributions.

There will come a point where the branches have diverged too far and merging becomes infeasible. So long-term, it's bound to become "hard".

[jolheiser]

Possibly, yeah. Although Codeberg was already sort of similar, they had patches on top of Gitea, so assuming it doesn't change too drastically it may stay feasible for quite a while.
