No extensions found when running from source

Check the extensionsGallery key in your fork's product.json file is using the official marketplace:

jq '.extensionsGallery' /usr/lib/code/product.json

{
  "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
  "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
  "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
}

and if not, change them.
