I guess I’m becoming a dinosaur, and now I don’t know where to find out about new FOSS stuff being developed, when new releases are out, etc.

I used to get it all on USENET and mailing lists, and then later on sourceforge.net and freshmeat.net. Now I track some things on https://freshcode.club/, but I don’t see much that’s ‘fresh’. Maybe new updates, but not too many new packages. sourceforge still exists, but it doesn’t seem current.

If I know about a project I’ll follow it on GitHub, but I’m looking for a place to find out about new things that I didn’t know I wanted yet.

tl;dr: Where can I watch to see promising new FOSS software projects?

    Like others suggested, lemmy communities and some news sites like HackerNews.

    But also some YouTube channels like Mental Outlaw, The Linux experiment and Brodie Robertson (most of them also have Odysee channels if you don’t want to use YouTube). Also Luke Smith (actually he shills a lot of foss software).
