Codeberg is an instance, not software. It runs on Forgejo.
Forgejo is a hard fork of Gitea.
So my answer is Forgejo.
Thanks, I've edited the title accordingly
Gitea once now Forgejo.
It's my turn to do the obligatory mention of SourceHut :)
It is in alpha, but it is really promising. It is going all-in on email based git workflows (which was the original way of doing it before the github-style PR based workflow). I love the style and it's minimalism - but don't let that fool you, it has many features that you might not see at first glance. Imagine if cgit or gitweb was extended into a software forge with built-in support for email patches, mailing lists, issue tracking and CI.
If you are the type of person who attracts garbage issue tickets and often has to reject low-effort PRs on your projects, it forces a really good minimum entrance bar. Of course this comes at the cost of visibility of your projects, less networking effect, so I would suggest to not use it if you want easy visibility and 3rd party contribution on your projects.
Currently I use Codeberg and Forgejo. The former for cloud backup and the latter for local backup.
I like codeberg simply because it is pronounceable.
Forgejo. Initially went with Gitea and made the switch because why not.
To me, everything works perfectly, from basic git stuff to CI. It was only for my hledger stuff since it's way too sensitive to be on any other machine but mine, but now I use forgejo way more than GH.
Forgejo as private instance, mirror important stuff to Codeberg. This way you can also restrict access to your private instance while have your code publicly available on Codeberg.
Work is gitlab, private is Forgejo.
Gitlab. Was on gitea, but it lacked CI integration (not sure if that has changed) and generally felt less polished. Gitlab is used at work, so its nice having something familiar.
Funny, I switched to Forgejo because Gitlab stopped running smoothly in four years between trials. I don’t understand why it’s such a hog
Edit your configs.
It is a resource hog It you don't tell it not to be. And for private use, you absolutely don't need it to be.
It is a bit of a hog at times. But it hasnt been bad enough for me to switch. Does forgejo do CI?

Actions supports using runners, and there are also webhooks that are useful for triggering e.g. Jenkins. I use the latter, works great.
Framagit uses Gitlab
Notabug uses gogs

That's it.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
