That is the impression I also got. Right now it is not very polished. 

Since mercurial/bitbucket has become a very central part of my workflow
I think I wouldn't mind paying 20 $/year, if it provides the things I
need. See below

    1. Https support

    2. Evolve support, 

    3. Modern mercurial with topics and absorb

    4. Easy to share repos with other users of sourcehut. Right now that
       is mysterious to me.
