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.

    If you don’t trust us, then you’re not going to be able to perform the necessary work to contribute, because there’s a lot of “download this, run this”.

      If I had any context, explanation, prior warning, knowledge of the person sending the file, or ANYTHING I might be more inclined to download a random file.

      I’m honestly kinda stunned that you think “download this, run this”, from a complete stranger is a smart thing to do. If that is how you manage your personal security I don’t want to imagine how your software will fare.

      If you and that other guy are legitimately what I should expect from the open source community then you’re absolutely right, it’s not for me.

        I agree, if you aren’t able to use your own judgement to evaluate sources, this is not the community for you. I’m sure you can get away with sandbagging in corporate software development, but open-source happens because people are self-motivated. That also means any time given is done purely voluntarily, so there’s an expectation that participants do their own homework.

          I’m so glad we’re on the same page. I’ll go back to the people who are actually open and welcoming to new people rather than the ones that try their hardest to condescend and belittle when I am justifiably suspicious of a random unknown file
