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.

If you're an Android user: scroll through F-Droid, download interesting apps, and then hunt for problems or try to come up with interesting, helpful features. For example, I could really use a live stopwatch widget in: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

Google Clock has it, but this app doesn't for some reason.

Another great idea, thank you. I'd never heard of F-Droid either

Whoa, yeah, F-Droid is perhaps the biggest FOSS Android app market, an alternative to the Play Store. I suggest navigating through it using Droid-ify. Enable visibility of all repositories in the top-right corner to be able to see more apps. Even Bitwarden has an official presence in F-Droid to accommodate Play Store avoiders, etc.
