How should our community treat out-of-date and abandoned Apps?
Sometimes a dev is away for an extended period of time, then returns to development. Sometimes an app is officially abandoned but still functions well. Sometimes an app may be under active development but not yet compatible with the latest version of Lemmy.
Should these apps be excluded from our Apps list? Which ones? What criteria should we use? Should we maintain a list of “Old Apps” for posterity, as a code database, etc?
This is visible in the current pinned post, and apps are sorted (at the moment) by most recently updated. Do you think this is enough? Should we leave apps on the list indefinitely and let users make their own judgements?
i would leave them up even if abandoned so if a seeker stumbles upon one and is curious about it, they can know it is known and dismissable, rather than submitting it for inclusion on the list.
Or maybe even fork it
That was my thought, too.
