      I would enjoy lobste.rs as a Usenet newsgroup. Gmane already offers the group gwene.rs.lobste (on nntp://news.gmane.org) via RSS, but without comments.

        One of the reasons I created Feedbase was to have a “Gwene with comments”. However, one thing is building the software, another thing is to get a community going… :-)

            I agree, looks really quite nice. But I can’t help to wonder how up to date those Wikipedia articles are or even can be, if the are not directly updated by the author(s) after a new release? Does Wikipedia source them automatically? I’d guess “no”, but I do not know. Perhaps git tags and/or regexes on release pages would be good additional sources for some of that software.

              There’s a Github-wiki-bot, that “automatically extracts stable releases and the release dates of Software from GitHub” as of August 2017 (Discussion to Wikidata property “software version”).

            DIdn’t know about Yalp store, that’s handy. I run LineageOS on my phone, but did install google services and the play store because I wanted a few apps that require it. Maybe yalp is a way around the problem.

              LineageOS for microG (and yalp) seem to be a nice way around, indeed. There’s also this list of awesome FOSS apps on GitHub, as well as https://fossdroid.com.

              Projects like LineageOS and the Librem 5 need more help than ever.

                  Also microG, but still it seems further parts of the OS are talking to Google, cf. a forum post on heise.de (in German).
