I have been self-hosting Gitea since long before Forgejo existed, but I understood the parent to be talking about third-party hosting with a FOSS community around it.
No one's guaranteed to third-party hosting or communities. The software is there. Host it.

Isn't that how this is supposed to work?
Gitea is china-ware that doesn’t share values with most FOSS.
if you have ssh access to a server, setup is as easy as
Done.
The remote URL is user@host:myproject (relative to user home dir) or user@host:/home/user/myproject (absolute path)
That works for private repositories, but public facing ones require a little more than that.
