One reason people stick on Lemmy and other fediverse communities, is the choice of quality over quantity (in this case - wrt comments). So quality over quantity could also apply to platforms like Codeberg. Github has so many abandoned student projects or forks going nowhere - maybe making the effort to look beyond the obvious is an indicator of serious (new) projects and contributors ?
Quantity becomes a problem only if its hard to find things you're looking for. It's not like you have to sift through hundreds of projects to find what you need, you just search for it and it pops up. I don't think quantity is a big deal here.
