`fjo` Updates

### 2024-04-20

`codeberg-cli` is un-deprecated since `fjo` development came to a halt before reaching feature pairity and I think we're better off including the findings here.

### End of 2023

We are thrilled to share a pivotal update on our software project. Thanks to recent developments, our project is now compatible with all Forgejo instances, not limited to Codeberg. As part of this expansion, the primary development focus will shift to our forked repository, [fjo](https://codeberg.org/VoiDD/fjo) in the future.

Rest assured, `codeberg-cli` will remain active. Our plan is to seamlessly incorporate new changes from the forked project here. We'll continue to make small adjustments to ensure smooth use, particularly for Codeberg, such as optimizing default values and Codeberg-specific features.

We appreciate your ongoing support and anticipate delivering even more enhancements soon.
