First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

Changing the remote should be fairly trivial with enough bash skills

It's more I don't have them all checked out, and a good chunk are mirrors of github, so I'll have to list out each one and push to a new remote, mirrors will have to be setup again, and I also use the container and package registries. I'm pretty embedded. It's not impossible, but it's a weekend project for sure.

If it was just forked, cant you just switch the package/container-image and be done?

Depends on how much it was changed I'm guessing. Fingers crossed I could just flip it over, but who knows

Simply changing the binary worked for me. Been more than 1 month and no migration issues.

It does still show gitea branding, however.

If you are using containers, it should be fairly trivial. Otherwise, there might be some renaming to do, but Forgejo should be 100% compatible with Gitea (at least right now). Just make sure you have a good backup in case anything would happen.
