I went to the site and clicked around. There is very little content and much of that very limited in scope. Is this someone wanting to crowdsource a website? In worry that sites like this are fronts for data gathering on users. And why did it show up here with the only text scraped straight from the website and nothing else?

The categories looked nice and the foundation seems to be there, but as you say, no content.
Had me fooled. I picked it up from HackerNews, where techies hang out and are likely to contribute to the source code more so than the content.

Github looks populated
https://github.com/OpenFarmCC/openfarm/

I couldn't open FB and twitter pages without an account (when hell freezes over)

I emailed the contact person and got this:

Hi,

OpenFarm has not been maintained or worked on in several years and the Slack group is no longer active. If you are interested in taking on a project maintainer role for OpenFarm, please get in touch through the OpenFarm GitHub repo! And please note, this email address is no longer checked regularly (this is a vacation responder replying to you). Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry, I'll delete the thread.
So it goes.
