There's plenty alternatives.

Sourcehut sr.ht (possibly other instances)
Various gitlab instances, e.g. framagit.org
not to mention git's own web ui which runs under so many domains; some of them might even be open to signups.

Unfortunately none has quite as good of a search engine. Do any actually have social features like friends and feeds?

Why would you need those in a git server?

Search is really useful for finding error messages’ origin as well as to find random example usages of APIs that have less than stellar documentation. The nice thing about GH search is that it allows many different facets like language and is pretty flexible by allowing exact search terms. Of course the corpus size helps as well.
