sr.ht is such a pain to browse, why would someone pick this over GitHub.

Looks fine in the text-only browser I use. Easy to browse. Here are some sample URLs

Actually Github has become recently more difficult to browse with the text-only browser I use. They keep messing with the HTML and breaking this simple structure.

I just download the .zip files and browse offline.

Because GitHub takes a fucking eternity to load every time you click something.
Javascript. Misuse of it.
What did you have trouble with? Genuinely curious.
and it doesnt show the project language(s), the first thing i do when checking a repo on github is to check the languages used, and usually this help me decided whether or not i want to follow this project or not

ocaml, f#, clojure, zig, raku, array language --> insta follow

rust, smalltalk , lisp/scheme --> 50-50

python --> boooo , not gonna follow

`.nim` if we go by the last commit.
the nimrod programming language
