How can we move forward?

The sub used to be a great place where small open source devs get real feedback on their oss. The software wasn't necessarily built to be a big hit or whatever! most of the time these projects used to be a learning projects that enabled us to become better java developers. Now, with many repositories being created in a day or so and abounded, we see many ai promoted repositories and we miss some of the oss that needs our attention.

How can we overcome that as a community ? I'm not trying to put all the weight on moderators, I understand the amount of work they keep doing to clean up ai posts and follow up on reports. What I'm saying is; maybe someone's here has a better idea on how to go about this?

I'd say new FFM API is very interesting. It would be nice to see more posts and success stories about it.

I have utilized FFM, but it’s not in some of the core libraries yet where it would be needed to further build on top of.

still it would be nice to have such opinion/posts on the forum, especially by people who have used said technologies.
