A good site that helps me find great alternatives to non-oss that I have grown accustomed to.

Pretty rough around the edges, just did a quick scroll down and noticed several odd choices. Looks like this is mostly built via scraping or by someone who doesn't really know what some of these projects are.

Home Assistant is just called 'core' because that's the name of the main repo on github.
Mastadon is listed primarily as a facebook alternative.

Agreed, but for me it was still quite helpful to find some alternatives. Do you know of a better portal?
