To my knowledge, there is 1 feature that forgejo has that gitea doesn't: it can generate a new ssh key for you at the click of a button that can be used to push repo changes to another git forge.
I have several personal repos on my forgejo instance that are each setup so that they mirror themselves onto my Codeberg account at noon every day.
I also have a gitea instance on a raspi on my local network that itself will push out changes on certain repos to the (public-facing) forgejo instance.
I can push and/or pull to any of the three origins as needed, but usually I just push to the gitea when I'm at home and the forgejo when I'm not, and let the mirroring take care of propagating changes to Codeberg.
