So I go to "The World of Illuna" at https://illuna-minetest.tk/ . I'm curious, so I click on what appears to be a video, under "Amazing customized Technic Ethereal experience in a crazy adjusted mapgen. Port 30.002 Online".

I get "502 Bad Gateway".

I then go to "Veloren" at https://tchncs.de/veloren . There are some pretty images on the side. I click them, and get a small white box with an x in the upper-corner. Firefox tells me:

It's open source, you know, it takes an effort to use.
Not a good reason to have a bad UX, tho.

I say that as someone that feels defeated every time I see a new issue in my inbox about the FOSS I made.

It's fine if things are clunky but if someone consistently runs into problems, they're going to be less inclined to use it or recommend it in the future. Even for techy ppl, there's a limit to how much you can tolerate.

For what its worth tho, I don't seem to have those issues.

Why should those two things have any relationship?
Where's Blender? Hands down the best user-focused open-source software out there, to the point of being better than the commercial alternatives in many fronts.
It appears to me that the focus of this curated side is open source software around the fediverse concept including links to servers.
Don't know why this landed here. It's just a homepage of a guy loving to host software and share it with the world.

It's not like its a curated list or something, just some stuff he hosts.

PS: Chatted with him years back, cool guy from Germany living on a chicken farm.

If I'm understanding this correctly this is a server hosting a bunch of fediverse instances. From the title I thought it would either be articles about good open source projects or maybe a collective developing open source projects.

Based on the comments by others here I'm guessing I was not alone in thinking it was something else.
