It’s a great place to find alternatives (including opensource alternatives) to services and software.
Very good suggestion. Alternativeto.net is a great resource that I return to often. Eased the transition greatly when I originally left the “mainstream apps”.
It would be very desirable. AlternativeTo is perhaps the best and most complete service to find Software and services, for any OS and license. It shouldn’t be missing from anyone’s bookmarks, even so, a shortcut in Lemmy wouldn’t be bad. Community driven, most with user reviews and ratings, warnings if a soft or service is discontinued, with Malware or Bundleware, all links to the corresponding Homepages for use or download.
Before we jump to this, does anyone know the license of the content on alternativeto?
They have also had some pretty restrictive use of cloudflare that made their content inaccessible to privacy users in the past.
If you have an alternative to alternativeto, do share.
AlternativeTo lists open source alternatives to AlternativeTo.
Now that’s meta.
license doesnt matter if you just link to it
Of course it matters.We dont want to support or contribute content to a service that could go down one day and all the data is lost because we can’t fork it.
