If you feel that #FDroid downloads are slow, just press ❎ to cancel the download then press Install/Update again so it picks up some other mirror.

There's no unified "F-Droid server" but several and a dozen or more mirrors.

Each time you try again it will use a different one. Hopefully the next one will have better bandwidth.

/PS: We've seen the reports, we will look into it.

Yes, #Fedilab has some differences between its Google Play version and its #FDroid version.
There are mostly due to restrictions from Google.

In the Google app we had to remove:

- Donation links
- Register an account on Mastodon (as they don't want to understand that the app doesn't collect emails).
- Filter some search results with #Peertube to exclude "YouTube Downloader" videos

To Google users, keep in mind you can easily switch to FDroid, we would be happy to help if you have questions

"F-Droid, started in 2010, still building on the same CPU" would be our anti-planned obsolescence imaginary campaign motto 😄

Jokes aside, #FDroid can't ask you to star https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/438515318 (and have its priority raised) but we can't stop you either. 😉

The last index update triggered a bug in the official #FDroid client, and Basic: you'll see a toast with "not nullable: icon" and the index won't update. We have reverted the related change and working on fixing the bug. The fix will take about two build cycles to be deployed, so about one week. You can get the latest index now by cleaning app data/reinstalling, but setup your 3-rd party repos and priorities back. Or better remove&re-add only the F-Droid repo.

jwz's app is gone from the Play store because he refuses to give them his private details.

I too have abandoned Google Play Store listings for my Android apps because of their unreasonable demand not just to have my address details, but to publish them on the store.

My apps are available on F-Droid.

To celebrate Conversations being back on the Play Store and to deny Google their 15% cut I made the app free for the next ~48 hours. 😜

If you are new here: Check out #XMPP. It's federated, provider and vendor independent instant messaging. It’s great!

Or get it from #fdroid - That version even has address book integration and public channel discovery! 😂
