The GitHub repos at https://github.com/organicmaps are all public archives now, but there's no information on them about why.

Thanks for the information. We agree with the first commenter though, more people and projects should move away from GitHub and to CodeBerg or their own ForgeJo instance.

Looks like everyone on Mastodon feels the same way. (As do I.)

Agreed. We really wish more open source projects would move to CodeBerg or their own ForgeJo instance as we find GitHub needlessly complex and poorly designed. GitHub also feels like a place for 'rockstar' developers whereas CodeBerg feels more like a place where development can happen more equally and there's no status, at least the same as there is on GitHub. Last but by no means least there's no built in LLM bullshit built into CodeBerg or ForgeJo stealing code, which is nice.

Are there any good public Forgejo instances? Or are most people selfhosting?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

We found a list of some public instances. However a quick search online seems to indicate most are likely self hosting.

Totally off topic, but this is the first I've noticed Forge Jo. I've spoken Esperanto for years, and instantly see this as the Esperanto word for forge "forĝejo".

The hat on the G makes it a soft G. And the J is pronounced like the Y sound in fjord.
