I self-host forgejo. I’m not a heavy or advanced user, and it suits my needs. I barely use github any more: mainly to star repos I like, and find and use repos (there’s a ton there - it’s almost ubiquitous).

I just installed this a couple days ago and already used it twice. It’s super easy and convenient.

All of these replies made me feel a little bit better, but yours especially resonated with me. Thanks.
