 ## Contributing code the right way 
 
+If you can't fork the repository on Gogs, please see this forum thread:
+
+https://discourse.tt-rss.org/t/pull-requests-gogs-spam/1850/2

 TLDR: it works pretty much like Github.
 
 1. Make an account on Gogs
 2. Fork the repository you're interested in
 3. Do the needful
 4. File a pull request with your changes against master branch.
