So I logged in to CDO and found this:
Does this mean that CDO will only do featured projects? If so how does a project get featured?

    yeah i think ackvonhuelio may be on to something

    Wow CDO. You tried to make yourself antisocial and ruined yourself to do it.

    I think they're still testing it, so hopefully it's not final... but it probably will be.

    This is sad for me because I used to publish app lab projects with my art and I loved seeing all the other projects people made. 😢
    I am probably leaving Code.org for good now because of this. They just keep making it worse and worse. 😵

    Hopefully that means that people who know about the forum but haven't joined will probably join now, since this is really the only way to share projects with other CDO users

      [WUT] Adam Yeah. Unfortunately some people probably can't access the forum because of website blocking on their devices.

        Well golly gee whiskers code.org, I didn’t expect that.

        Well I guess no more publishing our beautiful projects huh?
        Popcorn cats! I was just coding a 2D Minecraft game with a special load seed feature.

        Also guys I could develop a hack to auto-feature my project hehe.

        🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

        Code.org says “No more public projects!”

        I say “Nuh uh”

          [WUT] Adam Lol. If it were that simple then there would probably already be a hacked project or two on there. And then chats would keep going...

            [WUT] Adam
            maybe you could make your own public projects site linked to the forum where people input project ids and it shows up on a gallery

              Holy shit, code.org is fucked for good

              Yeah, this update sucks. I hate it really. I'm probably gonna leave code.org to another site because of this. I found out about it during school and now I'm really feeling sad bout' it.

              I reached out to Code.org and this is what they said:

              We are not currently taking submissions to the featured gallery, but we will eventually allow all students to submit their projects to be featured. Thank you for your patience while we work to get the new gallery fully functional.

              It also links this article for more information.

              So apparently the plan is to launch the new gallery now, and add a feature for project submissions later. The projects in the gallery will “rotate periodically throughout the year”, and anyone can suggest a project to feature as long as it doesn’t break the Terms of Service.

              And naturally, there’s a catch: projects that are featured cannot be edited until they are removed. This means that if you make a really good game and manage to get it featured, you can’t change any of the code, potentially for several months. The only option is to remix, and then of course it’s not featured.
