I’m using self hosted GitLab; any reason I should check out something else?

(I also mirror projects to public GitLab and to GitHub.)

GitLab is a kitchen sink tool for all the good and bad that entails. Forgejo is much more lightweight.
The ability for others to send you pull requests without requiring an account on your gitlab instance
I’m referring to the self hosted part. The outside world can send pull requests via the public GitLab mirror, or they can actually also access my self hosted GitLab instance via its public address - although I doubt anyone would bother.

(Pull requests also can, and should, be sent via ways such as submissions to mailing lists.)

It's a mirror so you'll want to merge the pull requests on your self-hosted instance probably, don't you?
