I'm trying to join some... not entirely sure what they're called. Like those projects where a group of people all work on a single community project. I hear discord is a good place for stuff like that. And beginner hackathons too. Any advice would be super helpful. Edit: Open Source Projects is what I meant 😅

Just found this guide to open source contributions that looks pretty good: https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/

Section 4 is on finding projects to contribute to.
