Could we add alternativeto.net to the sidebar? (alternativeto.net)

It's a great place to find alternatives (including opensource alternatives) to services and software.

My Linux/Windows guide has two whole sections and a table dedicated to this, with some websites listed for finding software and alternatives. They are all choices handpicked and refined from personal experience of over 15ish years.

Edit: its possible some may miss rest of the post that is in the form of chained comment. Just scroll and act like comments are one post. I do have it labelled it like Twitter (1/n) format for coherence.

I am really dumb. The link you shared doesn't show any table like you describe, and no links to the other "parts" out of 13. Can you help me figure this out? The part I can see is pretty helpful!

You are not dumb. I think your client app for Lemmy is not showing table properly. In Jerboa and Eternity, I can see table properly, and I think I now understand the mistake that is happening. Lemmy has a word limit for posts, and so, I created rest of the post in the form of chained comment below.

You probably missed the post, and this has been a bit of a bugger compared to Reddit's 40000 character limit, but it also keeps the storage needs lower for instance hosters.

Scroll down, I think your client is fine.
