What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for? (lemmy.world)

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

Discord. It's extremely popular and has no direct alternatives (Matrix spaces thing isn't ready at all yet)

EDIT: I didn't know Revolt and Zulip existed. I'm doing a research on them now

I recently ran into that very issue, leading to me downloading (one foss) third party clients for discord which are privacy focused. As long as discord is still the place to be I have to be there too, but I can certainly limit the data they can gather about me. I found

goofcord for desktop (supports plugins too)
aliucord for android

Perhaps they are an option for you too

I couldn't get goofcord to work on Wayland but webcord works great
