No Plugins available on new After Effects on MacOS

I just downloaded After Effects recently, but none of my plugins are working (MacOS). I saw that many people had this issue, and the solution was to launch using Sonoma or something, but this isn't an option. 

Please could Adobe fix this and allow for machines operating on Apple Silicon to work with plugins? Considering we pay for the app AND plugins, we should be allowed to use both to the fullest extent - this is unfair to Mac users otherwise.

    I'm not aware of one consolidated lists. If you had plugins that worked with Mac Intel, going to the respective company websites is probably the best bet.

    Is there a list of plugins which were released after Silicon was released

    Plugins are available for Apple silicon however if the plugins you are looking for were made before Apple silicon hardware released, they need to be updated to support Apple silicon. That's not something that After Effects can do, it has to be done by the plugin developer. There was a period of time where After Effects could be run in Rosetta mode which allowed the older plugins to run, but that was a very slow and unstable solution so that option was discontinued.
