Same here. I checked it out because of this page. I also didn't know the explore tab was a thing. There's a social media aspect to github?

Its one of the main differentiators of GitHub from the competition.

for me personally the only thing I evaluate this type of services against is:

- is it free for my personal projects? - how many interesting libraries I may use are there? - does it offer a free tier of pipelines and things like that? - can I make private projects for free?

All the rest is noise. This is just me though.
