Once the threads are finished, it is now time to discuss how the megathread should be built. I apologize in advance for having forgotten to mention any apps for daily use. I noticed that I may have failed launchers or other useful apps for daily use. Still, the threads are open. Any suggestion are welcome. I would like to ask you to contribute with upvotes or downvotes in the comments that best suit your vision. All contributions are important.
Here, you can discuss and say your apps you may have forgotten - https://lemmy.ml/post/11678824
Since English is not my native language, I will try my best to explain some details I want to discuss with the Lemmy community. If you don't understand certain things, please tell me what you don't understand, and I will do my best again.
So…… Lets begin………
- I was thinking of opening three threads per year to update the megathread. Do you think that 3 times a year is enough (for example, once in January, once in June, and another one in December), or do you think I should open 5 to 6 times a year? | Poll here - https://strawpoll.com/XOgONY582n3
- Tittle Im thinking: [Megathread] FOSS Apps — Lemmy Edition | You like? Or do you want another?
- How do you prefer to divide the megathread? I'm thinking of dividing the threads into single topics, that is, intended for each type of app — for example, one part just for YouTube apps, another just for email apps, and so on. This is an example - https://i.imgur.com/pgw47oM.png | I guess it explains better what I'm talking about. How would you like to see the megathread?
- I'm thinking of accepting only suggestions with two upvotes (or a difference with two upvotes) or above on previous threads. Do you think it's fair, or should I accept all the suggestions given? | Poll here - https://strawpoll.com/7rnzmK9oDyO
- In the megathread, I will not accept app suggestions because, in this way, the topic will be clogged. However, I must remain open to important information and other things, as, for example, happened with Simple Mobile Tools, which was sold to a shady company. Of course, all suggestions are welcome, besides app suggestions. Your suggestions will be prompt and extremely useful when I open the threads to update the megathread.
TL;DR …. So far, I'm thinking this:
- Open three-time-per-year threads to talk about new updates for MegaThread.
- Divide all apps into specific categories.
- Only accept suggestions with 2 upvotes or above.
- Not accept suggestions on MegaThread and accept only tips and important information.
Tell me what you think. What you agree or/and disagree.
Lovely day for everyone!
Thank you for the suggestion. All are welcome. I understand your point of view, and I think this should be debated, for sure.
However, imo, don't know if it will make sense to open something separately, since this was done by the lemmy members. I think it would defeat the purpose of the megathread by getting suggestions outside of lemmy.
I have no problem taking full responsibility for this. Obviously all help is welcome, but I take this on with all rigor and pleasure.
Other things I also want to discuss in the next thread are in relation to apps that not received updates again on last years. I understad there are apps that work without any problems, but I would like to know how much time need to past to become plausible to add an app to the megatrhead.
Regarding the fact that there may be apps that may seem like rubbish to you, I also understand your point of view, but I think that will depend on each person. I've just finished the megathread now, and, firstly, I added the apps that are used daily, and only then I add the rest , dividing into topics. Next week I will show the final work so everyone can give their opinion and say what you don't like
