Finding an open source project (lemmy.world)

Is there a community/site that organises and lists open source projects?

I want to get into working on open source projects but I have found it difficult to find the projects themselves.

I'd preferably like to be able to filter by project type, tech stack, state of development, active users, and active developers.

Is this an open source project in itself?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While I don't know of any such site, I wouldn't recommend it either.

Open source projects are made by the community, for the community, so I'd recommend you start by helping out one of the projects that you personally use. Maybe you can fix a bug that is bothering you, or implement a functionality that you are missing.

Can I ask why you wouldn't recommend it? I'm open to the possibility that I'm missing something but imo exposure and attention would often be a big hurdle when it comes to open source projects.

Having a repository that lists and describes them doesn't feel like it could be a bad thing to me
