is there anything interesting on i2p? (not sarcastic, genuinely questioning)

all i could find were things easier to get on the clearnet.

t.me/eureka_roms (Exynos 7884/5 Galaxy phones)

t.me/eliteroms_sexynos (Exynos 5443, 8890, 8895, 9810)

t.me/exynos9820oss (Exynos 9820)

t.me/LGG7V40Customs (LG’s SDM845 devices)
