Does Forgejo have any killer features or something that makes it worthwhile for me to switch away from Gitea now?
The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.
While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.
I know, but I thought it was already too late to simply change the docker image and be done with it. But, you are saying it's still just a drop-in replacement currently?
Not anymore, but afaik it is still possible with some not so bad manual work.
Depends on the version you're running.

I'm out of luck, it seems, since I'm already running Gitea 1.24.6.
Not being run by corporate overlords
Seriously though, the community is a lot healthier
Actions is significantly better, there are lots of subtle UI improvements, there are new importers, etc. Not a killer feature, but many small improvements that add up.
Thanks!
By the way you framed you question sounds like you are looking for an excuse to move away from gitea

I meant it more like "I'm concerned if I'm missing out on something huge by still using Gitea."
But if they're still mostly the same, I'll just stick with what I've already set up.
