I've seen some comments about how "gitlab bad" or whatnot, why do people prefer Codeberg over GitLab?

Yes that's true. I guess what I wanted to point out is that GitLab has dependencies like Postgres, Redis, Ruby (with Rails), Vue.js... whereas Forgejo can use just SQLite and jQuery.

sqlite is not something one would use for a database with a lot of users, postresql or mysql/mariadb is a better choice in these circumstances. and i don't think having jquery as a dependency in 2023 is a positive sign. not sayibg the software is bad, it's just different.

Fortunately they were inaccurate, and it supports mariadb and postgre too.
In the documentation, they leave sqlite and mssql to the last places in the listings.

Forgejo uses SQlite

That's a red flag

Hopefully not, as sqllite is never in a prominent place among the other supported databases in the documentation
