It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win ๐Ÿ˜Ž but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

I think Facebook is interesting as it's such a wide range of apps. From groups, to marketplace to traditional social, it has a lot of potential to be spread across multiple FOSS alternatives

spread across multiple FOSS alternatives

And you've already lost hopes of gaining significant market share.

The fact that Facebook does everything is what keeps people coming back. I haven't scrolled my feed in years, but I still make use of Marketplace and Messenger sometimes. It's the network effect at play too.
