Don't forget Connect! It's probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The "About Instance" function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
Using Connect:
Have a link? Is it open source?
It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he's cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that's worth.
Not open source, I'm out then.
Mmhmm.
I honestly don't get the "gotta clean up the code first" stance. Like sure, you don't want to publish complete spaghetti code without comments. But like, it can't be that bad right?
Besides, the point of open source is collaboration and so he doesn't have to do all the "clean up" by himself.
Yeah, I totally agree. I suspect that some people use it as an excuse because they don't actually want to publish the code.
I feel it's used as a minipulation tactic.
It's not FOSS but it's currently free and without ads.

Where is the "About Instance" feature?
Thanks. I found that earlier. I tried to edit comment. There's a feature on my app that says "add user comment"... I thought that equaled an edited comment that indicated 'I found the answer".
