I've noticed since Microsoft acquired Github, the "explore" tab has been more and more useless.

It's been months since it displays me the same repositories, and significantly less than before.

I don't know if it's related, but the timing is suspicious.

Explore has been… unuseful to me for years before MS bought GitHub.

I find it interesting that it sometimes shows my very own repositories (or repositories of one of my organizations) within the 'Explore repositories' section on the dashboard. As if I didn't know those repositories yet.

I sort by date to get around this and it helps a lot.

Side note: I also do this in HN Algolia search and it still annoys me that the default sort setting doesn’t work.
