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?

Okay so, it looks like self-hosting a project with an open development model that welcomes outside contributions is Not A Very Smart Idea (because that means you have to be a GitHub and I am NOT moderating that!), so it looks like I will be migrating the Sonic Worlds Next repo to Codeberg. But, I won't be migrating until I get some actual, concrete solutions for the Discussions feature; apparently there is a feature request for this for Forgejo, which powers Codeberg, but "SLIPPERY SLOPE!" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/410
