I am not really the target of your question, because I am not a developer of something in particular. I mainly use git to backup and track my Linux and Docker config. There are a few unfinished side-projects as well, but nothing really interesting. I personally chose Gitlab over Codeberg mainly because of the ability to create private repos. The repos don't contain any private info but I don't saw any real benefit for the general public either. However, this decision was a couple of years ago.
As of late, I want to use git also for other stuff that potentially contains data I am not willing to share. Therefore I want to setup my personal Forgejo instance. I like the idea of Codeberg. My goal is to host everything I really want to keep private on my personal instance and move everything else to Codeberg.

1. Codeberg allows you to make private repos. 2. They don't like being used as external storage, as this is not what they're providing this service for to the community. I think the same applies to GitHub and Gitlab,, that using them as a external storage is not very ethical and may violate the ToS. 3. A personal Forgejo instance for such purposes would be a good idea.

I just setup Forgejo on Yunohost myself. I'm very green to all this git stuff though.
