Idea: we need a bot that posts a random app each week (lemmy.zip)

Random isn't good.

A weekly post asking about the users fav apps or fav new apps. Or updates of apps and what's new in them.

Imo random is good if you limit it to stuff compatible with Android 12 or newer, because there is a ton of legacy stuff that might have security or usability issues and any bugs would not be resolved

A random selection once a week can reveal interesting apps

To me, it's still the same.

Each week there are a lot of updates and new apps on fdroid. And there's even a blog post about it. Maybe that should become more visible
