We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

PieFed: a link aggregator and forum platform built for the Fediverse, focusing on individual control, safety, decentralized power, and healthy community interactions, with features like reputation indicators and keyword filters to enhance user experience.

Beware that client support is very lacking

It’s come a long way recently, I’m currently using piefed on voyager rn and it works great

I would love to too as Voyager is my favorite client

But there is no option to change a post's language, thus making the app unusable for people who speak multiple languages

I’ve seen a couple of other clients add support for piefed recently as well, although I don’t follow them closely cuz I’m happy with voyager. Maybe boost or mlem supports this with piefed already?
