I've using FDroid for some time now, but now it says "it was developed for an older Android version (I'm on 14) and can't update automatically" I read that FDroid Basic was recommended for newer phones, so I installed and copied my repos (still have both apps) but it doesn't recognize my installed apps. Am I missing something?

I explained why you would want to use F-Droid Basic. Why it wouldnt recognize your installed apps I dont know, did you look in the "installed apps" section or just updates?

IzzyOnDroid collects Github releases that you would otherwise get with Obtainium. F-Droid builds them on their own so you couldnt update from one version to another as signing keys dont match
