    Finally!

    Our community now has a comprehensive list of Lemmy Apps pinned to our page. This was made possible by the previous work of @rist097@lemmy.world’s original Megathread, the Lemmy Apps Directory, as well as support from community members @zabadoh@ani.social, @SatyrSack@lemmy.one, @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works, @Blaze@reddthat.com, and others. Thank you!

    Please consider this post to be a work-in-progress. It took me a little longer to assemble than I originally thought, because I really wanted it to be as complete as possible to begin with. I’ve included some additional links for folks to quickly find or learn about these apps, as well as reach out to the creators with kudos. I hope to solve some of the issues that existed with previous directories. Among these are a few open questions for the community:

    1. This list is sorted by latest release to include more current information at the top. Is there a wiser way to communicate this?

    2. Should out-of-date apps be removed? There are some apps that are officially discontinued but still very usable, such as tesseract. There are apps that have not had an update in over 6 months but are still popular, such as Liftoff! What makes sense as a criteria for inclusion?

    3. I excluded apps that were announced but never released, such as Warami. Is there a place in this list for those?

    4. Are there any devs who do not wish to be tagged in this list? Just let me know (preferably by DM).

    5. How do we feel about including donation links in this list? On the one hand, I think it’s good to help people easily support those making the tools. I did not include them in the first draft because ultimately, I think that should be the responsibility of the devs and the individual app communities to decide how they promote.

    6. FOSS apps are marked with a open symbol. This seemed to be an elegant way to distinguish them without disrupting the list too much. Please double check that I correctly labeled the apps on this list!

    7. I did not test the formatting on every app. I know that there are some that do not yet have correct implementation of spoilers, etc. I am not sure how to keep the list usable without some way to collapse parts (possibly remove apps?). Would it be better to use simpler formatting at the expense of ease of use? Let me know your thoughts.

    8. If you see any missing or incorrect information, please comment or message me and I will correct it within a day (usually much faster).

    Finally, I did not include Lemmy tools/extensions/scripts on this list, since it quickly becomes a rabbit hole if there is any desire for completeness. I will probably start a separate discussion thread for those.

    This list belongs to all of us, so please share your thoughts on how to improve it!

      Thank you for putting all this together!

      Potential conflict of interest: I help with !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca

      Having a separate list for extensions would work nicely, although I think it fits to have the extensions listed here. There are few actual browser extensions for Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon. There are a lot of scripts, and we were working on incorporating the better scripts into the extension for the same reasons you mentioned above. Scripts are harder to manage and review

      My thoughts on the questions.

      1. “last stable version” sounds like a good way to sort it, for readers. It might become cumbersome for you to manage unless you can automate it somehow.
      2. I’m leaning towards flagging or removing out of date apps because of potential security issues. Could you contact devs after a few months to ask if it is being maintained?
      3. A big list of every app would be interesting for data. It isn’t helpful for users, so I agree with keeping them off
      4. I have a donation link. I don’t think it should be included in guides or lists either
      5. I like the formatting, as a reader. Consider if it becomes too cumbersome for you and your team to manage. I’d rather have a list that stays up to date and doesn’t cause headaches for the maintainer

        My theory is that if we start with an up-to-date list, we can crowdsource updates without too much trouble. In theory?

        I’m letting this settle for a couple days before tackling the discussion of what tools to include. I’d love to hear your thoughts about inclusion criteria! Feel free to reply or DM me.

        Maybe we could have a “nominate for removal” process to deal with out of date apps. Some are obvious, but some are less so. Not every app will have a release every 6 months.

          Nice list!

          My theory is that if we start with an up-to-date list, we can crowdsource updates without too much trouble. In theory?

          One way to do this could be to have a GitHub repo where the list is hosted. That way if someone wants to update it, they create a pull request that can be accepted by the moderating team

      • Having source link for proprietary apps is misleading.
      • The repo link should mention its F-Droid repository.
      • FOSS icon would look cleaner next to the name, instead of its own column.
      • Photon community link is broken.
      • Lemmy-UI is missing

        Thank you! Let me know if this is what you had in mind with these changes.

        Photon community link is broken.

        Hmm. It’s identical to the others and it’s working for me. Can you let me know what you are seeing? Feel free to DM screenshots if needed.

      They should all be current, as this list was reconstructed from the ground up recently. Please let me know any that are out of date or incorrect! Thank you for keeping a close eye on it.

    Liftoff doesn’t work with 0.19 instances. You may want to put it lower or have another category of out of date apps.
