> It also does discovery better than any other platform.

So I went to https://git.sr.ht/ which shows me nothing but buttons for login and register. Same for https://sr.ht/. I'm really confused if I'm holding something wrong, but this doesn't look like discoverability at all. Is it better if I create an account?

Yes, the site makes much more sense if you create an account (without an account you can still contribute to projects, though!), but you don't have to if you just want to browse projects:

https://sr.ht/projects

This is the easiest possible interface for discovery of projects, which is (in my opinion) something that GitLab and GitHub are pretty dreadful at. I'd go as far as to say there hasn't been a forge good at it since two SourceForge redesigns ago.

Oh that's awesome. How on earth is this not the main page?

Asked; just a bug, apparently! I'll file a report later & it'll probably be fixed soon.

Thanks!

sourcehut.org is the proper landing page.

Okay, but that one does not provide discovery either. It's just a regular product landing page just like github.com or gitlab.com
