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”.
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.
Second.
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.
Fun tidbit, DuckDuckGo has a bang for it, I use it all the time.
!a2 <program name you want to replace>
A2 has been changing a lot over the years. I have found it’s UX to be going in the wrong direction and it feels like it’s on a path towards too much ad monetization and spoiled trust. For now it seems fine still but it does list alternatives to itself which could use some love and support along the way as A2 grows.
