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.

A lot of those apps are years out of date, though.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Even megathreads eventually have some outdated info and dead links.

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 :/

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

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

Thanks! I'll check them out.
