I thought gitea was doing federation too? Im pretty excited about that part, as I've wanted to move away from GitHub but the visibility it gives is just on another level. Users can't register on my instance, therefore they also can't open issues and PRs.

Is switching to forgejo more work than just changing my compose file a little? I hope my database can get transferred.

The developer working on federation plans to merge the changes into forgejo first and then from there into gitea but I'm not sure in how far the recent changes to gitea's CLA have affected those plans.

Forgejo is a drop in replacement (they are committed to keeping it that way for as long as possible) so, as far as I know, simply changing the gitea image to the forgejo image is all you would need to do.
