Hi all

how can i simply follow all changes, patches and discussions ?

prior to teh forgejo test, i simply go over all new mail in my ffmpeg-devel
folder.
In that folder,
     I can leave things as new that i want to look at later
     I can mark things as old that i have not read but dont plan to do anything 
with
     I can mark things as read that i have looked at and am done with (like 
after applying them locally)
     I can press a single button to apply the patch from a mail

I have just made a sieve filter that puts all mails from Forgejo into their own folder, and I do have proper threads with all discussions (and pushes) in there.

Maybe some spam filter is somehow interfering, and eating some mails?

Going over the whole list is not particularly difficult (the contents of
mails and patches may be difficult but the managing of mails/patches is not)

But with forgejo now there are mails in my inbox, in ffmpeg-devel neither
seem to contain patches, nor do they seem to represent dicussions with
correct threading. I dont even know from 3 mails which is a reply to which.

The mails will never contain patches, they're just notifications.
They do contain a link to the patches and the PR number to fetch it via CLI though.

I see https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/activity
but that also seems not to really contain the level of detail that a simple
threaded mailinglist with new mails shows

Basically, can someone explain me how to use this effectively ?

You should be able to use it exactly like you described, as long as you don't expect actual patches to be in the mails.
Everything else, comments, discussion, ... should be in an E-Mail to you.

I have figured out that with
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/fforge/pr/*
i can get all pull requests into my local git nicely

thx
