I’ve heard the main two suggestions are Codeberg and Gitlab. However, there has been some mixed feelings about GitLab I’ve seen across the internet in regards to them being as FOSS as Bitwarden is with their “Open-Core” model. With Codeberg though, there was a recent major security issue.
I would just be curious to get other people’s thoughts throughout the community, and then I can decide where I want to migrate my repos.

Codeberg is pretty legit
Hosted by someone else: Codeberg or Sourcehut.
Self-hosted: Forgejo
To be honest, I’m waiting until we finally get federated git hosting, specially if done with ActivityPub. I think it fits too well the use case.
I believe forgejo is getting there, but it’s still not possible.
I will be original. Radicle: A decentralized alternative to GitHub built on Gossip
The builds are prepared for Linux and macOS. Additionally, the desktop client, web interface and console interface are being developed.
There’s Gitea, which you can also self-host
Codeberg or any forgejo self hosted git instances.
sr.ht is pretty good if you don’t care about a web GUI
I use sourcehut, specifically because I like their web gui!
Thats great!
But I think we need to look at it from the perspective of somebody migrating from GitHub. If OP is used to the GitHub GUI and uses it extensively in their workflow, they will probably be very frustrated while trying to do the same on sr.ht .
That’s true, sr.ht it not a drop-in-replacement, but rather a full on alternative.
I use GitLab because it’s at least better than GitHub and lets you garbage collect your repos.
Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that’s not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.
Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different “classes” of users at different paid plans. Just awful.
I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren’t renewing… Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.
I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.
Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!
