Gitea also has actions.

Gitea actually got actions before Forgejo did. That was part of what motivated Forgejo to become a hard fork instead of just a rebrand—there was some sort of disagreement about the way in which actions were rolled out and Forgejo decided from there to stop trying to be fully compatible.

I've missed that part. AFAIK both are forked from nektos/act and can't be dramatically different. All this story is an unnecessary dichotomy for me. Still hosting production code on a Gitea instance and will happily pay a dime but didn't get why yet.

I probably worded that wrong, but that was my point. Forgejo didn't have actions for the longest time, so I was wondering if it "caught" up with gitea

Not a thing. I don’t use actions yet, just the primary repo management UI. I don’t know if I could tell the difference.
