According to their FAQ, they say it’s supposed to be pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ and provide an audio clip: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
To me that sounds like “for-jay-oh”.
damn, soft g + not a silent e + German j.
I would’ve pronounced it forge + Joe before this. would have only gotten a third of those things right.
For-jail-o?
I thought it was a play on “forge”, I was wrong.
It’s the Esperanto word for “forge”, according to the FAQ.
Forge, yo
Forge, yo Mr. White!
I hope that someday they decide to add the diacritic to clear up the confusion (Forĝejo (/forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is how it’s supposed to be pronounced). It’s 2024, there’s no reason we should be afraid of non-ASCII characters.

I use an American layout and don’t have a numpad :(
On screen keyboards exist for you monsters who think ditching the numpad is acceptable behaviour
i’ll forgejo mama!!!
Forge her? I barely know her!
i think this is the first comment i’ve read since joining the fediverse to make me actually laugh. thank you for posting something far funnier than it had any right to be.
thanks! :)
Don’t try and start these pronunciation debates online. It might seem fun but sooner or later the chickens will come home to Rust.
Forge-joe
I pronounce it as in Esperanto, I speak it
Jes tio estis ankaŭ mia unua intuicio sed mi ne certas ĉu ĝi fakte estu Esperanto aŭ la -ejo estas nura koincido?
Redakto: laŭ https://forgejo.org/faq/ jes sed la intencita elparolo estas tamen “forĝejo”
On the official page it says that it is pronounced For Jay Yo (at least close enough)
Awesome phonetic illustration. You should do a dictionary.
For gay hoe
Fuhgeddaboutit.
I pronounce it Forgejo.
For-geh-ho
It rhymes with orange.
I imagine ‘Forge’ like you pronounce, well, forge, and ‘jo’ like you pronounce Joe*.
