    A lot of people seem to be complaining, but the last iteration had Copilot at the top and then a "Feed" of what other people were doing.

    This seems to push your issues and pull requests as the main items of the page, and that's significantly better.

      For OSS work, I actually rather like finding out what other people I follow are up to.

      A list of tasks I'm already behind on is the last thing I want to be reminded of constantly.

      :)

        The feed is still there, but imo it’s not the default thing many people wanna see when visiting the dashboard. I understand that people want the feed, but this weird social network thing isn’t really the true purpose of Github in 2026, and I would bet Github has the data on that and decided that what people really want to see when they first open .com is the status of their own work.

          I'm not complaining, just offering a different PoV. :)
