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

The bot should at least pick from a pool of apps new enough to run on the latest 2 versions of Android. There's a lot of ancient apps that haven't been updated in ages.

The bot could just filter out any app that didn't receive an update in the last ~1 year.

There are many good apps that don't receive/need regular updates anymore. Besides, giving them more attention might encourage new contributions.

Edit: maybe we can make an exception for this though:
