MODERATORS
 

I think this community is one that should be very straightforward. It is a community to post about lemmy apps, tools, features, comparisons, etc. It's also a valuable space where app creators and users can interact. This makes it a special place where creators can share best practices with one another and users can share their appreciation and discuss feature requests.

I like lemmy. I like lemmy apps. That's why I'm here. I appreciate the many different approaches that developers take to give users a positive experience, and I think this community is a neat part of that positive experience.

Okay, the elephant in the room: we have come through a challenge with a moderator who was not a good fit for this community. They approached it with a particular agenda, and were more hands-on than this community warrants. That user has since closed their account and removed many of their posts. Some of those posts were helpful, and I trust that members of this community will recreate the content that was valuable. I also want to express appreciation for the many active members of this community who have recently shared their thoughts about what this community could look like in the future, and who spoke up about restoring stability to the community. I also want to acknowledge @[email protected] for stepping in and providing a bridge as an admin.

In a community like this, a moderator (or team) should be maintaining of stability and civility while remaining otherwise invisible. My only agenda is to be consistent and predictable; open and transparent communication is key.

So, that being said, Please feel free to share any meta thoughts, questions, or requests in this thread. Otherwise, lets get back to the interesting part of exploring the different Lemmy Apps and Tools!

Thanks for taking a thankless job!

Yeah, what happened was weird...

Is there any chance of restoring the prior megathread of all Lemmy apps?

Here's the last capture of that post on The Wayback Machine from 2024-01-18: https://web.archive.org/web/20240118071614/https://lemmy.world/post/465785

We could use a new megathread anyway, as the previous one was a bit out of date. Development on some apps has slowed or stalled and some new apps have popped up as well.

I agree. This is absolutely something that could be reconstructed and pinned. I'm thinking about the best way to do something like this in an up-to-date way. The existing guides, including the Lemmy Apps Directory and the original Megathread (or this or this) do not show signs of recent updates. They probably make a good starting point though.

Could also take this list I wrote up as another starting point: https://zerobin.org/?1825c2ba83dbd8c3#3Wu82vn6djGuuvR8AVkGUp29DHUZNq5iuVwxpnA4kAAY

It is just open source tools, but is up to date as of last week.
