Before everyone started plopping their one-off AI bullshit[†] onto Github 40 times per day, I used to love going to Github's homepage feed to see what people I follow were interacting with on Github (contributing to, forking, opening issues on, and yes, starring). It was a great way to discover new projects and tech that I might want to use. I'd found many open source dotnet packages that way, which made their way into my projects' dependencies. I've sponsored some and contributed to others as well, all thanks to Github's discovery.

[†] I occasionally have AI write one-off bullshit too, so I'm not casting stones. It's just overwhelmed the discovery signal with noise.
