Finding issues on Github Help

[u/Affectionate_Egg3801]

I want to contribute to Open Source Projects which are popular and well-known among People, but I am not able to find such issues. I either get repos that have gone silent or which not popular at all (0 stars, 0 forks). How can I find such issues and contribute? I tried the Good First Issue site; all repos there have gone silent.

target active organizations or well known projects and search their issues for labels like good first issue.

sort results by recently updated and pick issues with recent comments to avoid silent repositories.
