The main options I am looking at are Codeberg and self-hosting a Forgejo instance. Which brings me to:
3.) How heavy is Forgejo to host? I've got doubts that it will fit on holenet's current VPS, and I'm not sure I can eat the cost of a larger/second instance. My ISP would rather that I not have a web server on a residential account and I'm not sure what the extra cost per month will be. And there's no colo places near me to rent space from (and if I did I think it has to be a rack mount server and not me cobbling together something from the i7 9800X-flavored parts from my previous rig)
4.) How painless (or painful!) is it to contribute or interact with a git server/forge that *isn't* on the same platform? Like, if someone was still using GitHub or GitLab or Codeberg and my repo was self-hosted, would they be able to do forks and make PRs without needing to make accounts on my server?

@techokami@woof.tech If someone wants to contribute, then they need to have an account on the service the repo is hosted on.
For example if it's on a self hosted forgejo instance, then they need to register an account on it.
If the repo is public, then everyone can clone it without an account and upload it on any other service (basically "forking")
