If you like the community driven fork of Gitea (which still upstreams to Gitea project) then you should check out https://forgejo.org

The fork was established at the time that Gitea got entepreneurial and founded Gitea Ltd. with plans for an enterprise version. https://codeberg.org used to run on Gitea, but switched to Forgejo, and Forgejo project is hosted on Codeberg at https://codeberg.org/forgejo

That is a real tongue-twister of a name.
Pronounced: for-jay-oh (it is a derivation of the Esperanto name for "forge")
Or maybe like .. "forge ho"
Another fork? gogs -> gitea -> forgejo lol
OSS development model functioning as intended.
It's possible with OSS development but spreading out contributors and patches over three projects instead of one with a functioning community is hardly the ideal OSS development model.
Yet, when you lose value alignment with the project, the best thing to do is to abandon the ship the sooner as possible. Insisting on total collaboration is bad for every party.
If they continue push upstream per the license then it works. There's a lot of Linux desktop apps that work this way; it's hardly a broken model.
