Proper Open Source Plugins (lemmy.ml)

When looking for plugins how do people sort through all the 'free' plugins that sound great but are actually 'fremuim' where all the key features are actually in a PRO version?

How do you locate the fully featured proper open source plugins that are well maintained and used?

Fair point, though it was the "fully featured... well maintained..." that caught my eye in a request for free stuff. 🤷🏽‍♂️😅

Yeah ok the wording was a bit blase and Im new to the group so Ill take the burn..but Im working for free on a community group website. Im aware that there are great communities out there doing amazing work on Opensource projects. I like to find them use and learn about them and then contribute however I can. (e.g Very keen Openstreetmaper) I was just feeling lost when i kept finding sites that said open source but then had PRO versions.
