I agree. And Forgejo (the software that powers Codeberg) is getting federation with the ActivityPub protocol (which made the Fediverse possible) in the future.

Very nice to hear!

How do we pronounce Forgejo? The english J, the German J, or the Spanish J? (Or is there a 4th option?)

It's apparently their most asked question, it has top billing in their FAQ.

I find that genuinely hilarious and delightful ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's based on Esperanto, I think German j would be the closest? Audio sample in their FAQ is like for-jay-yo to my ear, they give /forหˆdอกส’e.jo/ as a pronunciation

Yeah, German J is /j/.
