Q: What about the social features of GitHub? I enjoy the discovery and star features. There just isn't any community like it. Where can I get that?

Maybe some day Software Heritage (https://www.softwareheritage.org/) will expose enough metadata between repositories so that people will be able to train their own recommenders for better discovery.
