This year has been a milestone for us, with significant strides in decentralizing app distribution, expanding the F-Droid ecosystem, and solidifying our infrastructure. All of these advancements were made possible thanks to donations, grants, our volunteers and regular contributors. So thank you again to everyone who helped make 2024 another great year for F-Droid. Now let’s take a closer look at what we accomplished.

Did you install F-Droid yet?

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes. Loaded one or two apps.

In F-Droid it's possible to add aditional repositories. So a developer can have their own repository and F-Droid will show it in the shop, but the developer can handle everything about the backend themselves. To add repositories you need to do this yourself manually: https://f-droid.org/tutorials/add-repo/

Thank you. Any shady repos to avoid?

Until now I only added new ones if I needed a specific app.
