Hobbyist - I only use it for casual home projects. I open the bookmark of my repo to see a major update definitely uploaded and then close it again.

I guess some people just don’t use bookmarks

Do you ever go to wikipedia.com? Most people hit most webpages via searching something specific. Sure, you might go to some news, ecommerce, or social media sites landing page, but I’ve never once thought of going to github’s landing page in the last decade… maybe if I suspect an outage, but not to view content.

Nope! I tend mostly to use /org/repo and other subpages. The few times I find myself on / I’m just confused at how I wound up there and close the tab.

Thanks - I have now! It looks like updates of repos I’ve stared? But I’ll never go there again, and suggest OP not do that either if it’s upsetting to them. I just go to my profile, or the project I’m interested in.
