Things on Show HN are ready to be showcased. A random repo on GitHub most likely isn't.

  The “random repos” shown in Github’s various Explore/Suggestion interfaces bias towards repos with higher star counts / repos followed by people you follow / that are similar to ones you already follow. I’ve found plenty of interesting repos from the suggestions. Whether their creator was looking to “showcase” them or not isn’t directly material to me: I’m looking for inspiration, or examples, or just to see what other folks are up to. The suggestions are a useful window into those categories.
