There are other projects other than Forgejo implementing ForgeFed. Forgejo itself has some federation support but AFAIK not based on ForgeFed. But they have a community contrib project that does.

- https://codeberg.org/activitypub-rs/activityforge

- https://frogue.vit.am/~ololduck/Frogue

Gitlab has a community epic to add ActivityPub support, but that needs contributors:

When you say "they can run on a $5 VPS", do you mean that the entire server will be dedicated exclusively to processing ATProto data? I run an ActivityPub server on my $5 VPS that allows me to interact with everyone else on ActivityPub, and that VPS is hosting a lot more services than just that.

Yes I mean a $5 VPS that is processing all network traffic for the entire atmosphere.

Generally you don't have to do this! There's lots of people running relays that are open access. But if you want your own it's very cheap. List of relays: https://tangled.org/firehose.club/community-firehose-list

Can you also fit a PDS to host yourself on on that VPS? Yeah I expect that it would fit very easily. PDS's have a lot less traffic hitting them than ActivityPub, they can be way smaller. They are quite lightly loaded! Because... there are relays in front of them!
