Title. Looking for the megathread of FOSS apps that used to be on the other site, can't find it anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks

This is gold, thanks, I actually found some nice alternatives, I got tired of Google Files for example.

[–] wason@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Great post. Lots of apps

A lot of those apps are years out of date, though.

Sounds like people should help out by opening tickets and pull requests as it's an active Git repo :)

Even megathreads eventually have some outdated info and dead links.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

This one focuses on Fdroid Apps only and has 300+ FOSS apps.

Anyone know what happened to social.fossware.space ? It had a whole lemmy community for foss android apps, seems to have disappeared :/

[–] charlieb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's the federated version from lemdro.id (with no posts for 12 days 😞 ) but going to the instance directly returns an error. Idk

[–] density@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

try browsing the repos for the alternative app stores like foss droid, izzy on droid etc. basically everything is there.

[–] wason@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I'll check them out.
