Lemmy is not the same today as it was two years ago, and the app landscape is not the same either. There are a number of key improvements that we can work together to create.

We are looking for additional moderatorsThis is not a traditional moderation task. There is very little in terms of moderating comments and post content. Rather, we are looking especially for people willing to put in a little work on a monthly or bimonthly basis to improve existing projects.

Updating and Automating the Lemmy Apps DirectoryThe Apps "metathread" directory is woefully out of date. At present, no part of it is automated. I have been manually checking each app and updating information periodically, but this has proven unsustainable. I am sure that there is someone in this community who has the technical background to update it in a fully or partially automated way.

Updating join-Lemmy.org/appsIf the community megathread here is out of date, the "official" website is a fossil. This is the number one most visible place that people find apps. It's the top result in most web searches, it falls under the umbrella of the official project, etc. This community is not affiliated with the website, but it is OSS and they do accept pull requests. Someone with basic knowledge of github and a little free time could do a lot of good here.

App reviewsI'd love for people to share some specifics about the app you use and what you love about it. Do you have screenshots of a custom layout/palette you've set up? Let's show off what lemmy apps can do!

Info about PieFed supportSome apps have extended to other platforms of the fediverse, especially PieFed. How would we like to integrate and highlight that info? Should there be a special category or list in this community? A new community entirely?

Please share your thoughts and how you may be able to contribute. Like everything on lemmy, this community is what we collectively make of it. Thanks for making it great!

Is there someone I could converse with who would be able to update the information for my app on that wiki page? It's just that some of the information is outdated.

[-] rimu@piefed.social 5 points 9 months ago

Yes @Snoopy@piefed.social @snoopy@tarte.nuage-libre.fr

Primarily, it would be that Interstellar does have basic mod action support (Pin/Unpin, mark NSFW, remove post, and ban user), it supports displaying and assigning post flairs, and it supports creating cross posts. Additionally, the iOS app is out of beta.

@jwr1@kbin.earth Done ! Can you confirm the new data ? :3

I'm slowly catching up from my break and my planning is busy since i'm following a course.

I will add other revalent API later. :)

[-] jwr1@kbin.earth 2 points 8 months ago

Yup, it looks accurate, thanks for updating it!

[-] Snoopy@piefed.social 3 points 8 months ago

Nice, thank for the update. I'm reviewing and updating :)

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

For the last point, I think listing PieFed and Mbin apps (are there any?) would be a good thing. Maybe changing this community from strictly Lemmy to the larger fediverse?

BTW, the join-lemmy.org/apps data is here:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/blob/main/src/shared/components/app-definitions.ts#L424

Anyone can make pull requests to update it. I would definitely suggest app developers add their own app to it.

You have the

const APPNAME: AppDetails = { }

variable, and then you add it to the APP_LIST

EDIT: moved to here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/blob/main/src/shared/data/app-definitions.ts#L333
