[Question] Stay with Gitea or jump to Forgejo?

Does anyone who’s more on the pulse of stuff than I know if I should stick with Gitea or jump to Forgejo while I can?

I understand that, for the moment at least, Forgejo should be a drop-in replacement for Gitea as they shared codebase for so long…

Anyone have experience that this is the case? What version did you make the switch on? Was it really just a binary/docker container swap on existing database or did you run into any troubles?

I’m at a crossroads where as a casual HomeLab user I don’t really care either way, but if there is a chance Gitea does something that ruins my use of it, I will regret having not switched while it was supposed to be easy. On the other hand, if Gitea remains the stronger choice and Forgejo fizzles out, I will regret leaving it behind. Help me decide? I’m on Gitea 1.21.5, the last “guaranteed” jump point now.
