What Codeberg does that Forgejo does not
Codeberg passes self-service signup, agent-compatible signup flow, fast time to first request, copyable quickstart, agent compatibility verified, and Forgejo fails them. That is the whole of the gap between the two scores, so if none of those matter to your agent the ranking above overstates the difference.
Why people look for an alternative
Forgejo fails llms.txt published, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, machine-readable metadata, structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, self-service signup, no mandatory sales call, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, fast time to first request, copyable quickstart, official typescript sdk, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. Each one is a place an unattended run stops, which is usually what sends someone looking in the first place.
