My general rule of thumb:

- GitHub for things I expect broad collaboration on

- SourceHut for things I just want to share (or expect contributions from a specific group that are comfortable with email git flows)

- Self-hosted for everything else. This used to be Gitea, but I've recently switched to charmbracelet/soft-serve, which fits my needs well (it's small and comparatively simple)

As other folks have noted, the social features of GitHub are hard to replicate elsewhere, but I've enjoyed SourceHut's stripped back approach.
