Lemmy search isn’t great, or I’m too new, and can’t tell if this has been posted here before.

    It’s covers a pretty wide range of topics hence the bigger number…

    Either way, would you refuse a library because it had too many books or would you use a searching/organizational system to locate what you want

      In this analogy, GitHub would be the library and the awesome list would be the recommended by the librarian section. If my librarian stopped curating that section and just filled it with a specific type of book no matter the quality I would stop browsing their curated section.

        Again, large size doesn’t necessarily equate to being washed out…

          Are you disagreeing with them and saying OP list contains only curated awesome projects?

          Do you really need 13 blog platforms? By that point, don’t I have to do another analysis and curation to decide what to use? With the generic descriptions that seem to be copy-paste from the projects descriptions, where’s the descriptive and usefulness-assessment of curation? If one of the 13 is “Extra-awesome, extra-lightweight blog engine.” - why are there even others if it’s “extra awesome”? What does that even mean?

            I really just don’t understand why we feel the need to be pedantic on the linguistics of a list of resources someone found to be (subjectively, and inherently) “awesome”

            All 13 blog platform could be awesome and you’d want all 13 on the list because while all awesome, they’re awesome in different ways. They each have different workflows even which is something that’s really important to someone writing blogs. Do you want a WYSIWYG editor? Do you prefer Markdown? Do you want a static site generator? All these things are awesome and each fit a distinct use case.

            What does that even mean?

            See my reply above (https://lemmy.world/comment/1592102), that’s exactly what is hard to determine objectively.

            don’t I have to do another analysis and curation to decide what to use?

            Yep, you do.

              Lol I’m so surprised some self hosters are so lazy they can’t even make a selection out of a few already curated items. Like would you rather have no options at all (use this ONE project, nothing else matters) or not even have the list and have to find the projects on your own?

            I agree with your point, interesting to see people downvoting without commenting.

      I would expect an „awesome-books“ list to not include every book ever written.
