My impression is that Forgejo is at this point mostly a "swap the names" fork, along with a few features that Gitea dropped the ball on like ForgeFed. At the same time, Gitea has developed some pretty big enhancements to CI in that time so there's definitely a lot more development going on in Gitea.
The largest hosted instance, Codeberg has thrown in behind the Forgejo fork, which is the largest endorsement it has, but I think a lot of smaller instance operators are either continuing with Gitea or adopting a wait and see approach.
I think the real test for Forgejo is how sustainable it will be once the codebases diverge to the extent that it can't just rebase on Gitea for the feature work Gitea does.

- sangnoir 3y ago> The plan is to stay close enough for that not to happen, at least that’s how I understand it. That's a shame. I have no interest in CI and other "enterprise-y" features and was hoping to side-grade to Forgejo. I run my instance on an Raspberry Pi Zero and my non-latest version of Gitea is a memory-hog as it is. I'll be giving Gogs another look.
