I don’t care that much for Github. Because of all the clones and mirrors. So I mostly use one of the above to find the canonical project link.

And most software have an actual websites or is present in some distribution. I don’t care that much for weekend projects.

We aren't talking about your preferences alone here, are we? The case that the parent commenter mentioned is exactly what I was talking about too. What if I want a solution? What if I'm looking for algorithms or examples? What if I want to find a group of projects that's tackling a certain problem? How are my needs invalid? Are the projects that don't have such elaborate setups, polish or completion unworthy of discovery and help? You're essentially dismissing requirements that drive others to large platforms.
